Trail. So many fun things in the Klamath Mountains, just unbelievable. A great location for whitewater paddling in close proximity to Crooked Tree Trail is Eel River, and some glorious nature is available in Mendocino National Forest.
A tour to Skeleton Glade invigorates the
soul, and a great place to explore is Low Gap. Twin Springs is an inspiring location to explore while here; camping is available at Lower Nye Campground. Life's too short to enjoy all the amusing stuff in the Klamath Mountains. Getting to Cold Creek from Crooked Tree Trail is simple;
the beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Big Spring.
This is no place for people who don’t like to have fun. If you don't mind getting wet, you can always go whitewater paddling on Stony Creek; some close by water includes Barker Creek.
