| | While visiting this area in Washington it's a tremendous idea to go backcountry hiking too. Gotta get out of the urban center man, and South Fork Trail in Okanogan County, Washington is a really good place to spend some time. There are many great backcountry hiking trails in Washington; one of those is South Fork Trail in Okanogan County. This hiking trail has a total elevation difference of 1,150 feet which is an average number. The time needed for this walk is roughly 5 hours, but of course some folks walk a bit slower and some a bit faster. Even though this |

is not a very long backpacking and hiking trail you should still bring some emergency supplies just in case something happens. Summertime at South Fork Trail comes with high temperatures in the 80's while overnight lows are frequently in the 40's. Highs during the wintertime are
| | frequently in the 20's, and overnight lows at South Fork Trail during the wintertime frequently fall into the 10's. Every Washington backcountry hiking trail has its own character. This is one of many trails in the surrounding area. Here in Washington backpacking never gets boring. You'll have got to go far from Wenatchee to get to South Fork Trail, but it is a good backcountry trail. With its 6 miles of walking distance it's a mid length walk.

from start to finish. At parts of the year this vicinity sees very little rain, so do check for current fire restrictions before you go if you plan to bring a stove or make a camp fire. There is only one trailhead, so in and out is the way to backcountry walk it normally. Don’t
forget to check for any current restrictions or closures before you go. The great outdoors trails of the Northern Cascade Range are a tremendous way to explore these hills. This great outdoors trail is a mid length great outdoors trail with an average amount of climbing distance
which makes this a very tough trail for advanced backcountry walkers looking for an excellent challenge. South Fork Trail is commonly a pretty dehydrated place; the wettest month of the year is commonly December, that's the one that snows the most, and July is when it's the driest.
Briefly
about the general area: You can run the rapids of Chewuch River in the vicinity of South Fork Trail, and of course Bernhardt Creek flows through this vicinity. You'll need more than a day to discover everything South Fork Trail has to offer, you can camp at Tiffany Spring Campground,
and nearby you come across Baldy Pass which is a splendid site to check out. A quick visit to Baldy Creek next to South Fork Trail is a glorious idea. Whohoo, so much fun stuff in one place! The Northern Cascade Range is unbeatable! There's so much to do here at South Fork
Trail that you need to camp here for a while, Derry's Resort-pearrygin Lake is a brilliant spot for that, and Beaver Meadow is a pretty location any time of year.
