stop by nearby Granite Creek while you're here at Silver Butte Trail, and places like China Meadow are perfect to go to.
Whohoo, so many cool things in one place! Silver Butte Trail is so good! There are some great whitewater spots on John Day River - North Fork, and a short
tour to Snowshoe Spring is always worthwhile. Lake Creek is a striking stream that is worth visiting; Moon Meadow is a beautiful location any time of year. Be careful coming to the Blue Mountains, you might not ever want to return back home again. Whitewater paddling is not for
everybody but if it's for you then we recommend Grande Ronde River.
Yeah, come up here to the Blue Mountains for a magnificent time. Corrigal Spring Campground is a good campground nearby, and Packsaddle Spring is an inspiring place to stop by while here.
