3.5 miles of hiking • 1000' elevation gain •
After failing to find the trail at Clackamas River we headed toward the closest trail for a known great hike. The Dry Ridge Trail in Roaring River Wilderness was a short distance away, and doesn't disappoint! The campground was closed, so we parked off of Hwy 224. It was obvious a trail maintenance crew was here as this trail was in need of some tender care. We didn't go far and stopped at a beautiful view area near an exposed cliff! The trail to this point was nothing but switchbacks, which was great! No people and a nice hike in the wilderness made for a short but sweet needed break!
