| | In Washington you never run out of outdoors fun. Meadow Creek Trail is a hiking trail rather far from La Grande, but many folks like to backcountry trek here to be right next door to the great outdoors. Backcountry backpacking in Washington is so much fun. Meadow Creek Trail is a two ended wilderness trail with two trailheads, so if you can get a ride from someone, you can hike it just one way. This walk shouldn't take more than 7 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that. Meadow Creek Trail has a total |
|
elevation difference of 1,798 feet, and that is about average. You can't spend all your time indoors you need to get out once in a while, and if you happen to be in Columbia County of Washington, Meadow Creek Trail is a splendid local hiking trail for doing a bit of leg stretching.
| | Sometimes this great outdoors 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 great outdoors trail are at very different elevations, so keep in mind that you may need to dress differently at different elevations. Meadow Creek Trail gets very little precipitation; of all the months in a year December is the one with the most rain, and July is when it's the driest. This is just one of a large number of backcountry trails in this area. Meadow Creek | |
