splendid backpacking trail. Lake Mountain Trail is many miles long with an average amount of climbing distance which makes this a very tough wilderness hiking trail for advanced backcountry walkers looking for a perfect challenge. And keep in mind that there could be temporary

to dress differently at different elevations. There are trails all over Oregon, and Lake Mountain Trail in Josephine County is one of them. Lake Mountain Trail has a total elevation difference of 1,760 feet which is about average. These trails here in the Klamath Mountains are
a glorious way to explore these hills. Lake Mountain Trail has two trailheads, so backcountry backpacking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back. This hike should take you about 1.5 days, so better have big backpack to fit all the stuff you need. There are numerous
trails in Oregon, and each one is worth backcountry trekking.
Briefly about the general area:
Yeah, come up here to the Klamath Mountains for a magnificent time. You can run the rapids of Elk Creek next to Lake Mountain Trail; don't leave Lake Mountain Trail without
first paying a visit to Willow Spring.
If you haven’t been to Oregon Caves National Monument, you have to schedule some time for it if you're here, and a spree to Elkhorn Prairie rejuvenates the soul. It's always great to visit Horse Spring, and needless to say, A journey to
Low Divide is always fun. This spot is unbeatable, just check out all the amusing things to do near Lake Mountain Trail. People from Grants Pass love to come to Lake Mountain Trail, and Country Hills Resort is a great local campground.
Be careful coming to the Klamath Mountains,
you might not ever wanna return home again. Panther Creek is one of the streams close by that might be worth checking out; there's whitewater on Indian Creek Klamath Tributary for all you thrill seekers. No Name Creek is next to Lake Mountain Trail and is always a delight to go to; Lake Mountain Trail is a great spot to visit for more than one day, West Branch Campground is a great spot to camp nearby.
