Briefly about the general area:
First Gulch is a perfect location to check out near Silver Butte Trail, and Corrigal Spring Campground is a perfect local campground. But wait, there's more cool stuff to do in the Blue Mountains.
It's always wonderful to explore Packsaddle Spring; Moon Meadow is a lovely site any time of year.
If you come at the right time of year, John Day River - North Fork offers some delightful whitewater, and getting to Granite Creek from Silver Butte Trail is easy. Not enough
hours in a day to enjoy the Blue Mountains. Whitewater paddling is not for everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Grande Ronde River. And if you're still looking for more outdoors amusing stuff just keep reading. China Meadow is a nice place to check out, and why not camp
at Deerhorn Campground while you're here at Silver Butte Trail.
Some close by water includes Lake Creek; don't leave Silver Butte Trail without first paying a visit to Snowshoe Spring.
