This was a Day Hike in Central Oregon, Metolius River National Recreation Area, Deschutes National Forest, starting @ Lower Canyon Creek Campground Trailhead on West Metolius River Trail Hiking North to Wizard Falls Fish Hatchery and Allen Springs Campground. This Hiking Segment can be done as a standalone shorter Hike or can be included as a Grand Metolius River Highlight Loop Hike of approximately 13+ Miles, starting at this Lower Canyon Creek Campground Trailhead of West Metolius River Trail, Hiking North all the way up to Candle Creek Campground, Hiking back South and crossing Metolius River at Lower Bridge Campground, Hiking South past Allen Springs Campground and ultimately re-crossing the River at Wizard Falls and Returning to Lower Canyon Creek Campground Trailhead. This 13+ Miles Grand Metolius Highlight Loop is ONE OF THE BEST RIVER HIKES IN THE STATE OF OREGON!

The Elevation starts around 2800 FT and stays in a range of up to 3000 FT, at such low elevation it allows this Hike to be done in the end of Winter as this was Hiked 2/19/2022! The temperature was well below freezing (19F) when I arrived around sunrise, and it got warmer into the 40's and 50's later in the day. The sky was beautiful blue skies, a blue bird day, and there were of course NO Mosquitoes.

As far as road conditions, it's Highway to the turn off which is also a paved road, the last under a mile to Lower Canyon Creek Campground was bumpy but has been recently paved to be of much higher quality. In my opinion, the road most definitely DOES NOT require 4-Wheel Drive, however do watch for road conditions, particularly snow/ice depending on the time of year, and drive SLOW and CAUTIOUSLY, and of course do so at your own risk!
