 | Dry River CanyonTrail - Oregon |
It's a small finger off the east side of the Oregon Badlands Wilderness, a nook that holds a trail that winds in and out of old, twisty juniper, bordered by steep basalt cliffs. A stretch where an ancient river cut into the canyon, once draining the ancient Lake Millican. Rounded boulders, worked by the old river, appear out of place along the now dry trail. Head out for a moderate hike for about 2.3 miles one-way, or add in an additional mile by rock-hopping an unmarked area for about 50 yards, then picking up the trail again for the last half mile.
