Briefly about the general area:
It's always delightful to take a look at Hunter Spring; get your heart
beating on the glorious whitewater of John Day River - North Fork. Put some time aside to spend at Brush Spring while you're here at Section Line Trail. There's so much to do here at Section Line Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Meadowbrook Lodge and Overnight Park
is a tremendous site for that.
So many cool things in the Blue Mountains, just fantastic. You'll need more than a day to discover everything Section Line Trail has to offer, you can camp at C and D Motel and Trailer Court, and why not a little side spree to Pole Creek. Not
sufficient hours in a day to enjoy this site. If time allows, John Day Fossil Beds National Monument is a national park worth visiting. Wilson Creek is a splendid site to stop at, and Kelly Prairie is a glorious spot.
