Briefly about the general area:
Just can't get enough of the Central Cascade Range. There's some flowing water nearby, Rattlesnake Creek is a stream you can go to while you're here, and in case you don’t mind getting
soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on Copland Creek. All our national parks are great places to stop at, and Crater Lake National Park is no exception, and Steamboat Creek has a delightful whitewater paddling spot close by.
This is no place for people who don’t like
to have a good time. Onion Creek flows through this vicinity, and do put some time aside to spend at Illahee Spring if you're here at Grassy Ranch Trail. If you came for an overnight stay Slim Chance Campground is a fine place to camp; Horse Prairie is a tremendous site here at
Grassy Ranch Trail. Weeping Rock Campground is a great local campground, and Illahee Spring is always fun to check out.
And if that's not enough there's plenty more entertaining things to do in the Central Cascade Range.
