If my ears could talk they'd be clamoring for me to immediately don a ski cap before they freeze and fall off my hairless head. The Belknap Hot Springss loyalty program is underway. I could barely feel my fingers and the cold air made me rue my newly shaved head. Uncharacteristically (for me), the hiking festivities started early morning, the sun had not yet risen high enough to shine down into the river canyon. Go for: Family-friendly soaks Fee: 8 to 15 for day use overnight lodging starts at 110 Season: Year-round, but check driving conditions to and from the hot springs This secret soaking oasis lies just off the McKenzie River. The cold and forbidding waters of the McKenzie By Greg Vaughn Belknap Hot Springs Resort Willamette Valley. Gratefully, no body parts were injured on this hike, but because my intended route on the McKenzie River Trail was closed due to wildfire damage, I was forced mid-hike to come up with a new plan on the spur of the moment. An unexpected trail closure that forces you onto a trail you'd never been on can be an enjoyable adventure, as long as you don't do something stupid like twist your ankle on the new trail.
Improvisation is often the saving grace of a given hike and the unpredictability makes hiking fun, as long as it's good unpredictability. I left after another 0.5 hours & the rest in the shuttle still had not showed up.No matter how meticulous or painstaking the planning, sometimes things just do not go as intended. We had beer on the porch for over an hour before next next 2 showed up. As a point of reference, all 3 of us race in the west - not at a high level but are fit. The flattish downhills require pedaling - so you are pedaling most of the ride- unlike many rides which are pedal the uphill, no pedal the downhill - this takes its toll on your legs over the hours.ĥ) Put it all together & it is the reason most of us ride - not to be missed.īe prepared for a big ride. Belknap Resort & Hot Springs in Mckenzie Bridge is rated 8.6 of 10 at RV LIFE Campground Reviews. The first 10 miles aren't entirely technical, but when they get technical, it requires big efforts if you want to try cleaning those sections. Belknap Resort & Hot Springs in Mckenzie Bridge, Oregon: 32 reviews, 19 photos, & 9 tips from fellow RVers. I recommend this as a bucket list trail for several reasons:ġ) Scenery : lakes, waterfalls, the river, old growth forest (endless), lava flowsĢ) Variety : smooth, duffy sections, steep technical sections, lava flow sections (rolling technical sections), log bridges, climbs, etc.ģ) Challenge : Even though this is net downhill, there is very little of the trail that doesn't demand your attention - lots of little chicane turns around trees, little rooty, rocky sections, big drop offs / very steep cross slopes, tight tree chokes, etc. Location: In the Willamette National Forest, three miles north of the community of McKenzie Bridge. You will the McKenzie River trail on almost all top 10 trails list & this is legit. Question whether trail bikes should be allowed on this section of the trail because there are so many hikers and the users range from children to seniors. Mostly they were walking their bikes because of the rough and narrow trail but one large group of 6-8 was riding fast near the bottom and almost knocked my wife off the trail because she did not hear them coming.
Lots of foot traffic on this popular and well known trail so I was surprised to see a number of trail bikers along the way. The pool itself is beautiful and well worth the hike but don't expect to cool your feet in the (very cold) water unless you're game for another 40 minutes to hike across and down to the pool. The first third of the trail is nice and easy along the river, the next third starts to get a bit rough and climbs a bit and the last third is definitely rough and climbs over a large basalt formation with lots of twists and turns, rock outcroppings narrow passages and fewer river views. Not bad for age 70 or so with no recent hiking experience. We hiked the 4-mile+ round trip from the trailhead to the blue pool in about one hour and 5 minutes each way.
