The Fifteenmile trail is a 10-mile-long section of the Stiletsi and White Crane Loop found on the Oregon Timber Trail website. The Fifteenmile trail climbs through an oak savanna studded with yellow balsamroot, past old-growth ponderosa pine, through dense conifer forest, and then tops out at Eightmile Point with some pretty incredible views.  The trail is seldom far from Fifteenmile Creek, which is always good for a cold plunge on a hot day.

The Oregon Timber Trail Alliance has adopted the easternmost three miles of the Fifteenmile trail and each year we cut back the brush and remove logs that have fallen into the trail.

The trailhead is an hour southeast of Hood River or a two-and-a-half-hour drive north of Bend.  We invite you to give a day to trails and join this effort. You provide the enthusiasm and we’ll provide the tools. Once you sign up we’ll let you know how to get to the trailhead and other details.

Trail Maintenance Workshop: this year we are partnering with NWTA to provide a day of trail maintenance training on Saturday which will include an orientation to the tools, trail features, and physical demands of a hard day on the trail. The will include some actual trail maintenance as well.

Trail Maintenance Day: We will spend the day on Sunday doing more maintenance to a section of the trail and plan to enjoy some trail riding after the work is done.
