| | Going for a walk here in Oregon is a tremendous idea. There are many glorious wilderness hiking trails in Oregon; one of them being Alpine Trail in Lane County. Every single Oregon wilderness hiking trail is well worth a walk. Being 10.2 miles long; it's considered a longer backcountry trek. Oregon is a perfect place for outdoors folks. Sometimes this backcountry trail gets really dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. This is a long backcountry trail, so don't forget to pack enough |

supplies. Alpine Trail is not very in the neighborhood of Eugene-Springfield at all, but many people like to backcountry trek here to be in the neighborhood of nature. This backcountry trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can backcountry trek it
| | just one way. Alpine Trail is a wet place that gets a great deal of rainfall; November is when you get the most rain here; the driest month is July. This is a neighborhood covered with lots of hiking trails. This hike shouldn't take more than 9 hours, but of course some people walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Finally, backcountry trekking time is here again, and Alpine Trail in Lane County, Oregon is just the location. Summertime highs at Alpine Trail generally tend to be in the 80's, and the nighttime is quite colder of course, frequently in | |

the 50's. Highs during the winter are frequently in the 40's, and nighttime lows at Alpine Trail during the winter frequently drop into the 30's. Different parts of Alpine Trail are at very different elevations, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different
elevations. This backcountry trail has a total elevation difference of 2,291 feet, and that is about average. These hiking trails here in the Central Cascade Range are a very tremendous way to see these summits. The length of this hiking trail is on the longer side having an average
number of uphill miles which makes this a very tough hiking trail for advanced backcountry hikers looking for a brilliant challenge. Don’t forget to check for any current restrictions or closures before you go.
Briefly about the general area:
There's whitewater on Willamette
River - North Fork of Middle Fork for all you adrenaline people, and why not a little side trip to Short Creek. You'll really wish for more hours in a day to enjoy all the exciting things in the Central Cascade Range. A journey to Windy Pass is always fun, and a journey to High
Prairie invigorates the soul.
Camping at Errin Campground is always a wonderful experience; whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then, we recommend Willamette River - Middle Fork. Camping is available at Oakridge Mobile Home Park, and as expected McLane Creek is a beautiful stream that is worth checking out. Any time is a delightful time at Alpine Trail if you love the outdoors.
