Several Group Sites at Creek

There are several pretty large, primitive, river-side group sites throughout the woods in the Yacolt Burn Forest near the Pacific Crest Trail there. We drove through on a Saturday and found multiple open. It looks like all you need is your Washington Discover Pass and to be the first to claim it. Just past Stevenson, this area is pretty undiscovered considering how close it is to Portland.
