This part of Oregon has a glorious deal of available outdoors pursuits. Anderson Ridge Trail is 15 miles long; it's a long trail. This trail goes through some very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the trail could be very different from other parts of it. This is one of many hiking trails in the |
|
surrounding neighborhood. Hiking trails like this one here in the Central Cascade Range are a glorious way to explore these mountains. Anderson Ridge Trail has a total elevation difference of 2,720 feet which is a higher than average number. There are numerous wilderness trails
| | in Oregon, and each one has its own character. When you're here in Oregon backcountry hiking along one of its wilderness trails is something that is always fun to do. This region does get very dry sometimes, so don’t forget to check for any current fire restrictions before you go. Now, this is roughly a 2-day backcountry trek, so better have big backpack to fit all the stuff you need. At Anderson Ridge Trail throughout the summer months highs are in the 80's with night lows in the 40's. During the winter highs are in the 30's, and winter nights come | |
|
with lows in the 20's to Anderson Ridge Trail. The length of this wilderness hiking trail is on the longer side with an average amount of climbing distance which makes it an outstanding hiking trail for experienced backcountry trekkers in great shape. And keep in mind that there
could be temporary safety restrictions in place. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end which means you have the option of backpacking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. You can't spend all your time indoors you need to get out once
in a while, and if you happen to be in Linn County of Oregon, Anderson Ridge Trail is a perfect local backpacking trail for doing a bit of leg stretching. The high level of precipitation makes Anderson Ridge Trail a relatively wet place; through the month of December you get the
most rain around here while July is commonly the driest month. Now this backcountry trail is pretty long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip.
Briefly about the general area:
These mountains rock, just check out all the cool things to do in the Central Cascade
Range. Tombstone Prairie Campground is a great campground nearby. Stay the night at Country Star Recreational Vehicle Park, and hey, Bobby Creek is a good local stream.
A short trip to Tamolitch Falls is always worthwhile, and Smith Prairie is a great place to stretch your
legs a bit. A pleasant journey to Fingerboard Prairie is a good way to spend an afternoon, and Willamette National Forest is a forest that you can go to. Be careful coming to Anderson Ridge Trail, you might not ever wanna return back home again. A tour to Anderson Ridge Trail wouldn't
be complete without taking a look at Icecap Spring, and Marion Creek has a wonderful whitewater paddling spot close by.
If you want a good time in the great outdoors just come on up to the Central Cascade Range. If you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Horse Creek; some of the water close by flows, like Ice Cap Creek.
