| | Each one of the many hiking trails of Oregon is worth backcountry backpacking. It's a lengthy tour from Albany-Lebanon to Gold Hill Trail, but it is a really great hiking trail. You can't spend all your time indoors you need to get out once in a while, and Gold Hill Trail in Linn County, Oregon is a nice location for getting out. This vicinity does get very dry sometimes, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. There is only one trailhead, so in and out is the way to trek it normally. |

whitewater.
