| | Oregon is a fine place for backcountry hikers. Backcountry hiking trails are brilliant and plentiful in Oregon, and Sucker Creek Trail in Josephine County is one of them. Every trail in Oregon is delightful in its own way. Sometimes this trail gets really dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. Different parts of this hiking trail are at very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it. Sucker Creek |
