Attractions & Considerations: The trail is a well maintained easily traveled ridge top trail with many view points. Right from either trailhead, a beautiful view allows the visitor to say, "It was worth making the trip!" Along the trail, there are many more opportunities to enjoy the view of the Wenaha - Tucannon Wilderness from Horse Ridge over to Oregon Butte. While at Oregon Butte, make your way out to the Lookout and have a spectacular 360 degree view. There are many sites easily accessible for camping with springs near by for watering stock along the way. Hunters should be aware that this is one of the first snow hit areas on the District and it is hazardous to get out of the trailhead at this time of the year.
