County, Oregon is an excellent pick. This is one of a very small number of great outdoors hiking trails in this vicinity. Here in Oregon backcountry trekking is something that is always fun to do. Great outdoors hiking trails like this one here in the Central Cascade Range are
the best way to enjoy these hills. Rocky Top Trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole great outdoors hiking trail. This is not a very long hiking trail but it's always glorious to bring some emergency
supplies, you never know what could happen. This hiking and backpacking trail has a total elevation difference of 526 feet, and that is lower than average. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions in site.
Briefly about the general area:
So
much amusing stuff in the Central Cascade Range, just amazing. In case you don’t have a problem getting drenched, you can always go whitewater paddling on Santiam River - North, and if you came to camp Detroit Lake State Park is a perfect location to do that. Nearby Knutson Saddle
is a tremendous place to go if you're at Rocky Top Trail. There's so much to do here at Rocky Top Trail that you need to camp here for a while, B and B Rentals is a tremendous location for that.
Whitewater paddling is good on Elkhorn Creek.
