Description
Just two hours from Portland, a hike into the old-growth groves of Opal Creek is like a walk back in time to Oregon as it was before logging and development. Trees up to 250' high and 1000 years old can be found here, as well as a rare wildlife and beautiful waterfalls. Hiking options abound in this 20,000 acre Wilderness, and in the adjacent Bull-of-the-Woods Wilderness.
This amazing area is home to a tremendous diversity of fish, wildlife, and plants, including elk, black bears, and the endangered northern spotted owl. In addition to wildlife, hikers exploring Opal Creek can marvel at the sight of dozens of waterfalls, several lakes, and massive cedar and Douglas fir trees that were already ancient when Lewis and Clark first explored Oregon 200 years ago.

My parents lived there for a few years (working on a ranch) and my mother loved it so much! She told me many wonderful stories of the beautiful scenery and wildlife. She, like me, loved them both very much! She is in heaven now and I know she is doing her favorite thing, fishing! :D
