The Blitzen River Trail follow the meandering Blitzen River through a spectacular gorge. You can walk as far as Fish Creek on a path that is sometimes obvious and sometimes needs a little bit more of your attention to find it. There are some idyllic camp spots along the trail. It can be used as an alternate to the original Oregon Desert Trail that leads along the other side of the river, but needs you to ford it one time. If the water is too high (mostly in springtime), better take this lovely option.
