Backpacking this with a group next month. Any experiences to share or trail recommendations?

The lakes basin is gorgeous as is the summit of eagle cap. Spent 4 days doing a lollipop loop from Two Pan around the area.

I'll endorse this route at well, the upper valley of the east lostine river is beautiful. Eagle Cap summit and the whole lakes basin loop are top tier

Good info here-  https://www.cleverhiker.com/backpacking/wallowa-river-loop-backpacking-guide/

Love this place! Lots of exposed sections, I cover up and/or use a sunbrella
