This segment spans 13 miles (20.92 km) and is anything but unpleasant! In 1908, two rangers on horseback dubbed a four-mile ridgeline south of the river “Dread and Terror” because of the daunting prospect of combating forest fires in the thick mountain brush. Despite its name, this segment is one of the most beautiful along the North Umpqua Trail. The route traverses through lush forest with incredible views of several waterfalls and beautiful basalt cliffs, all quintessential features that make the Pacific Northwest so special.
