Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail Recreation

The Pacific Crest Trail generally follows the crest of the Cascade Mountains which marks the eastern boundary of the Willamette National Forest and the western boundary of our neighbor to the east, the Deschutes National Forest.

It goes through three of our four travel corridors: the North Santiam, McKenzie, and Middle Fork Travel Corridors.
