| | A visit to Oregon is not complete without some backpacking. Going for a hike here in Oregon is so much fun. Rather far from Hood River you encounter Eagle Creek Cutoff, but it is an enjoyable place to backcountry walk. Now this backcountry trail is pretty long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Please follow all local rules about fires and camping. Oregon has plenty of nice backcountry trails; one of them being Eagle Creek Cutoff in Clackamas County. Now, this is roughly a 2-day walk, so make sure you've got all your overnight gear packed. |
