The Camas Crest Trail offers a delightful journey through varied landscapes within the Thurston Hills Natural Area. You'll wind through oak savanna, natural grasslands, and dense Douglas-fir forests, with the scenery changing constantly. The path leads to a basalt plateau, providing expansive views across the valley where you can pick out distant peaks like Spencer Butte and Pisgah, making the 3.9-mile (6.3 km) route feel incredibly rewarding.
Planning your visit is straightforward, as there are no permits or fees required for this easy hike. The North Trailhead at 7575 McKenzie Hwy serves as the main access point, offering amenities like restrooms and an information kiosk. While enjoyable year-round, consider visiting in spring for blooming wildflowers or in fall for vibrant foliage, especially since the 1 hour and 51 minutes duration makes it a perfect short outing.
This trail is part of a larger system that opened in 2017, known for its natural-surface mountain bike trails, though the Camas Crest Trail itself is shared with uphill mountain bikers in sections. The 651 feet (198 metres) of elevation gain is spread across rolling hills, making it accessible for most. It's also a dog-friendly option, provided your furry friend stays on a leash.
