Mileage Mike went hiking Roaring River Campground September 15, 2012 3.5 miles 1,000 feet gained
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!
