Now this hiking and backpacking trail is pretty long, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. Willamette Divide Trail stays roughly within the same elevation zone the whole time, so you get pretty much the same conditions along the whole backcountry trail. With its 7.6 miles of walking distance it's a mid length backcountry trek. This backpacking and hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 884 feet which is a lower than average number. This hiking and backpacking trail sometimes gets very dry, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. The time needed for this hike is roughly 7 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. This is a two-ended backpacking and hiking trail with two trailheads, so backcountry trekking it one way is an option if you can arrange for a ride back.
