Description

Upper whoops runs from the top of Lower Whoops (East End) up to Shooting Star shelter (West End). At the top you can connect to Sector 16 trail. At the bottom you can connect to Lower Whoops, Upper Phil's/StormKing, Skyliner, and the Lower Whoops climbing road. It's a steady but intermediate climb or a speedy but non-technical decent.

As with all Central Oregon trails, this one can get pretty dusty later in the summer, mind the soft edges, a challenge in itself.
