Located just south of Oroville, this Okanogan River Valley Trail is part of the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fs.usda.gov\/pnt\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Northwest National Scenic Trail<\/a>. One of the best places in the state to see California bighorn sheep, this trail also offers stunning valley views, old growth forest and a pretty little waterfall. And it may soon be closed to the public once more! After securing this trailhead and a right of way, the county is auctioning off the parcel that guarantees this access. What a shame! But, there is still time to stop this. But you must act fact. The property goes up for auction this Friday. Please make a donation to the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pnt.org\/WhistlerCanyon.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pacific Northwest Trail Association<\/a> so that they may buy the property out right and permanently secure access to this trail. I wrote my check! Will you help too? This trail is worth the donation-and any amount will help!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Whistler Canyon Trail (Hike no. 2 in my Day Hiking Eastern Washington book) is a gem.
