Central Oregonians! Help me out!

I'm planning a backpacking trip in Mill Creek Wilderness, starting & finishing at South Twin Pillars Trailhead. I know the area was burned out pretty seriously a few years back, and I've never been to the area, so I don't know - are there trees, or should I bring a tent

This is the hike we're doing. Counterclockwise from S. Twin Pillars trailhead.

Has anyone been there and can you provide insight?

Not sure but looks like a cool place I have not been...

no insight,, but keep walking till you find some good trees
place looks cool.

instead of the tent... bring a larger groundsheet and torso pad - use your hammock as a ground bivi.

i've been practicing in case i have to gotoground up in the cascades this summer.

thanks for the tip, rip! I think I'll do just that..

speaking of the cascades, this trip is actually a fallback plan - we were supposed to climb Adams, but that fell through at the last minute
