HIKING STRATEGIES & TIPS Exploring Upper Deschutes River Shoreline Trail! | Central Oregon | 4K
In my opinion, there are about 8 Miles of PREMIUM River Shoreline Hiking on Deschutes River Trail along National Wild & Scenic Upper Deschutes River, Deschutes National Forest, Central Oregon.
This is EASILY a TOP 5 River Shoreline Hike in the Great State of Oregon! There are 3 Strategic Approaches to Capture/Tackle this EPIC area:
1) 8 Mile Point-to-Point Hike from Meadow Day Use Area to Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps), in either Direction, need to arrange transportation at end of Hike!
2) 16 Mile Out & Back Hike from Meadow Day Use Area to Dillon Falls to Benham Falls to Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps), in either Direction, no transportation logistics required, the Superstar Hiker Method!
3) Break Deschutes River Trail up into 2 separate more leisurely 8-Miles'ish Out & Back Hikes using Dillon Falls as the Midpoint:
a) Meadow Day Use Area Trailhead to Dillon Falls & Back.
b) Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps) to Dillon Falls & Back.
On April 22, 2022, I Hiked 8 Miles Point-to-Point from Sun-Lava Path Trailhead (called East Benham Falls Trailhead on Google Maps) heading North to Benham Falls, Slough Day Use Area, Dillon Falls, Aspen Day Use Area, Big Eddy, Upper Falls, Lava Island Day Use Area, Lava Island to Meadow Day Use Area. It was a Low of 29F. Here is the FULL HIKE Video Link of that Hike:
