A river like this is too good to miss. A pleasant tour to Sun Meadows is a pleasant way to spend an afternoon, and nearby you hit upon great sites like Tututni Pass. You just can't envision the amount of outdoors fun stuff the Southern Cascade Range
has to offer. If time allows, Crater Lake National Park is a national park worth taking a look at, and naturally Vidae Creek flows through this region.
Camping at Mazama Campground is always a glorious experience, and let's not forget East Fork Annie Creek which is a stream that you may bump into while you're here. Camping is available at Sevenmile Marsh Campground.
