of water; most of the rain falls through December while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Every Oregon trail is well worth a backcountry walk. Backcountry trekking in Oregon is a magnificent idea. Pine Ridge Trail has two trailheads which means you have
the option of backpacking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. This region does get very dry sometimes, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. The warmest time of the year at Pine Ridge

up too long, time to get out in the fresh air a bit, and Pine Ridge Trail in Linn County, Oregon is a really tremendous location to spend some time.
Briefly about the general area:
Gooch Falls is an inspiring place to stop by while you're here; since you're here at Pine
Ridge Trail it's a nice idea to stop by Eight Lakes Basin. That right there is a lot of cool stuff already but it goes on, the Central Cascade Range has it all. Stay the night at Tombstone Prairie Campground.
Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then
we recommend Marion Creek; Trout Lake Campground is a great campground nearby. Be careful coming to the Central Cascade Range, you might not ever want to go home again. Don't forget to take a fine little tour to Moon Creek, and do set aside some time for Marion Flats since you're
here at Pine Ridge Trail. Whohoo, so much cool stuff in one place! Pine Ridge Trail is excellent! There's whitewater on Santiam River - North for all you adrenaline kick people; the beauty of mother nature reveals herself at Marion Falls.
While staying at Pine Ridge Trail you could always discover Minto Pass, and do take a look at Turpentine Creek while you're here at Pine Ridge Trail.
