Briefly about the general area:
A pleasant
trip to High Prairie is a delightful way to spend an afternoon, and you can stay the night at Errin Campground. Get yourself into a kayak and hit Willamette River - Middle Fork, and since you're here, you could have a look at McLane Creek. That right there is heaps of exciting
things already but it goes on, the Central Cascade Range has it all. It's a great idea to stop at Short Creek, it's in the neighborhood of Alpine Trail; of course, A trip to Windy Pass is always fun.
You'll need more than a day to discover everything Alpine Trail has to offer,
you can camp at Casey's Riverside Park, and if you come at the right time of year, Willamette River - North Fork of Middle Fork offers some wonderful whitewater. Any time is a wonderful time at Alpine Trail if you fancy the outdoors.
