7.2 miles of hiking • 2250' elevation gain •
We have never been to this area and found it to be a great hike. We parked at the forest road and went down to the White River. We aren't experienced at crossing this type of creek and there was no bridge, so we turned around and went up the trail from the road. This trail passes through a small portion of Badger Creek Wilderness and constantly gains elevation. The trail levels off after reaching Bonney Meadows road. We stopped at Bonney Meadows due to time constraints and my knee not being cooperative (after 9/10 days of hiking). Bonney Meadows is simply spectacular with a great view of Mt. Hood in the background! Not much in the way of insects and the temp. was cool. A great hiking day!
