This section of the North Umpqua Trail is the final official stretch, running from west to east. The trail follows the river through a grassy area as it enters the Mt. Thielsen Wilderness near the Tolo Creek Trail junction. As it rises in elevation, it connects Maidu Lake and Miller Lake while intersecting with the Pacific Crest Trail, crossing pumice deposits from the eruption of Mt. Mazama. The vistas along the way are stunning. To the northwest, you'll have views of Diamond Peak, Sawtooth Mountain, and Cowhorn Mountain, all fantastic spots to take a break, enjoy the scenery, and capture some memorable photos.
