Cook Creek Trail has two trailheads which means you have the option of backcountry hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. At parts of the year this area sees very little rain, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to
bring a stove or make a camp fire. While visiting this neighborhood in Oregon it's a glorious idea to go hiking too. Cook Creek Trail is generally a rather arid place; most of the rain falls all through May while July is generally the driest month. Cook Creek Trail is not very
next to Lewiston at all, but it is an excellent refuge from the urban center. This backcountry trail goes through some very different elevations, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations.
Briefly about the general area:
Take a side
tour to Five Points Creek, and Wild Canyon is another glorious spot to take a look at close by. Don't leave Cook Creek Trail without first paying a visit to Howard Spring, and why not camp at Kirkland Campground if you're here at Cook Creek Trail.
Paddling on Snake River is
so much fun. Imnaha River has a good whitewater paddling spot close by, and a brilliant spot to camp here at Cook Creek Trail is Black Pine Campground. It's always great to have a look at Hot Spring, and Baldwin Area is a tremendous location here at Cook Creek Trail.
That right
there is lots already, but it continues; Cook Creek Trail has it all. Dry Creek is a pretty stream that is worth checking out, and don’t forget to go to Bear Flat if you're here at Cook Creek Trail.
