On PCT at Wahtum Lake north shore, there is still evidence of Camp Chinidere, a boy scout camp that buned in 1925. It was reported to be the second largest log structure in the NW at the time. It burned three nights before camping season was to end, and at four AM, hungry and without food, the 14 mile hike out began. Roads did not reach the Wahtum Lake area until about thirty years later.
Right now the Chinidere hike is an out and back. A section of the loop is closed due to fire closure.
