Cascade Range if you fancy the outdoors. Put some time aside to spend at Saint Martins Hot Springs while you're here at Herman Creek Trail; Cascade Locks Koa Kampground is a great local campground. Why not camp at Wind Mountain Resort since you're here at Herman Creek Trail It's
always nice to have a look at Smokey Spring.
Life's too short to enjoy all the exciting stuff in the Central Cascade Range. There's whitewater on Wind River for all you adrenaline rush seekers; why not visit Anderson Point also while you're here. Be careful coming to Herman
Creek Trail, you might not ever want to go back home again. Whitewater paddling is not for everyone but if it's for you then we recommend Hood River - Lake Branch; why not take a little visit to Mullinix Creek if you're here.
Benson Plateau is right here at Herman Creek Trail, and close by Gold Dust Rock is a good place to go.
