happen. There are plenty of hiking trails in Oregon; each one of them is worth trekking. The total elevation difference for this great outdoors trail is 278 feet which is lower than average. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end, so if you can get a ride from

With its 1.2 miles of walking distance it's shorter than many wilderness trails. Don’t forget to check for any current restrictions or closures before you go.
