    Backpacking in Drift Creek Wilderness

    I Am An Oregonian
    Published by Aleksey in Travel · 3 October 2022
    I hiked this trail twice before, and this time I decided to stay overnight on the bank of Drift Creek. It was so relaxing and quiet, and the weather was just right - not too cold and not too hot!


    This is my Day 1 hike to the creek:

    Length:4.21 mi Elevation gain:174 ft
    Moving time:1:43:32 Avg. pace:24:36
    Calories:902 Total time:1:50:03

    And this is my Day 2 hike back to the car:

    Length:4.04 mi Elevation gain:1,463 ft
    Moving time:1:44:59 Avg. pace:26:00
    Calories:914 Total time:1:57:45

    No, I did not see any bear, but I had a bear spray just in case! I did not eat crawfish, they are quite small!

    I saw crawfish. Did you catch some and cook them?
