Briefly
about the general area:
It's a good idea to visit Squaw Creek, it's close to Cross Canyon Trail, and Ant Flat is a splendid spot to check out. Don't try to stop me, cause I'm havin' a perfect time here at Cross Canyon Trail. A spree to Huntit Spring will fill your soul with
nice feelings, and a nice site to stop by is Big Hole Canyon.
Why not go to close by Butte Creek since you're here at Cross Canyon Trail, and sites like Ant Flat are perfect to stop by. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Cross Canyon Trail has to offer, you
can camp at Bear Canyon Campground, and do put some time aside to spend at Mosier Spring if you're here at Cross Canyon Trail. Be careful coming to the Blue Mountains, you might not ever wanna go home again. There's so much to do here at Cross Canyon Trail that you need to camp
here for a while, Teepee Campground is a great place for that, and Grande Ronde River is a great whitewater spot close by.
That right there is heaps of fun things already but it goes on, the Blue Mountains has it all.
