Trail in good condition with few blowdowns. Gorgeous views up the Salmon River Valley, then, from Devil’s Peak, of Mts Hood and Jefferson. Wonderful fall colors. Would be a nice, easy two-night backpack trip.

Devil's Peak Loop

If I were to do this again, I would recommend staying away from the Salmon River Trail, which is overrun with campers, fishermen, families, and city people asking you to put your dog on leash. The Green Canyon Way trail to Devil's Peak and then the Kinzel trail to Kinzel Lake are all fine. Kinzel Lake would make a good turnaround point.
