Ukiah-Dale Forest State Scenic Corridor, Oregon

The Ukiah-Dale Forest Scenic Corridor shadows the radiant currents of the John Day River and Camas Creek, taking you through a maze of Douglas fir and Western larch towards ideal fishing, wandering, picnicking and kayaking, not to mention the potent feeling of strength that hovers around stately old-growth pines. In autumn, Western larch turns to gold. In spring, wildflowers knit the green with indigo and orange. In winter, snow makes the water shine like diamonds and in the summer it’s velvety warm and verdant. Trout, steelhead and salmon will tempt anglers, the nearby national forest will draw hikers, and the Bridge Creek Elk Wildlife Area will attract big game hunters.
