Opal Creek Wilderness is home to the largest contiguous area of low-elevation old growth forest in Oregon. One of the oldest and largest trees in the Opal Creek area is a Douglas Fir that is 1,000 years old. Incredible.

This is a place that will stick with you. We first visited back in February of 2015 on a crisp morning. As we walked the trail along the creek, the sun poured through the old growth forest filling me with awe and wonder. How special is it to walk among ancient trees and feel so small? I have wanted to return ever since.
