Description
Despite its name, Dry Creek at this location is far from dry. In fact, it's the first source of filterable water for southbound hikers on the Pacific Crest Trail in Oregon. Further downstream the creek water is diverted by an old piping system and Dry Creek actually is "dry".
Just west (trail north) of this small bridge, the Crest Trail crosses an old jeep road. Hikers can head up this old road for 2/10 of a mile to Dry Creek Falls.
A few steps farther west, near a pole marking the Pacific Crest Trail is a junction with the abandoned Rudolph Spur Trail, which once carried the number 405D. This trail leads up to Benson Plateau. The trail is not currently maintained and should only be attempted by people experienced in route finding.
