Hello and thank you!
Hello and thank you!
First time poster here, but used this site and forums extensively to plan a 2 week trip through NE Oregon that we just returned from. While weather means I don’t have as many complete trip reports to post as I’d like, I’ll be posting some over the next few weeks as all the trip reports were so helpful in planning hikes in the Strawberry Mountain area, Hells Canyon and the Wallowas. Thanks to all of you who regularly contribute trip reports—such a valuable resource! Looking forward to planning more trips, and here’s a question: what are your favorite hikes with a campground at or very close to the trailhead? We have a rooftop tent, so once we’re set up we’re not driving to a trailhead. Happy hiking!

Re: Hello and thank you!
I usually camp near a trailhead so I get an early start hiking. Most trailheads have places to camp. If you were sleeping in your car you could just do it in the parking area at most trailheads.
Tilly Jane on the east side of Mount Hood is pretty nice. Hike up to Cooper Spur and the high point of the Timberline Trail.
Or Lava Camp at McKenzie Pass north of Three Sisters. Hike to Minnie Scott Spring and Opie Dilldock Pass.

Love the Tilly Jane suggestion, thank you! While I would happily pull up in a trailhead parking lot, the other half prefers a campground (picnic table and vault toilet at minimum)

Re: Hello and thank you!
I always like to guess whether a new poster is a human or a bot
Hannepdx - most likely a human
sillydiscrete - 99% likely a bot - in two weeks you'll need skis to get to tilly jane

That "person" was posting from Panama and has been expunged.

thank you
there was a post by a bot named sillydiscrete who's now gone
I feel like I should create a limerick about it

There once was a post by a bot
It's something we see quite a lot
They offer us deals
They say that they're real
But we're pretty sure that they're not
