Overview
In addition to the Eightmile Creek Loop Hike , this loop is another route used and maintained mainly by mountain bikers that can also be a rewarding experience for hikers (It is also used by horses). The loop uses two trails, the Knebal Springs Trail #474 and the Bottle Prairie Trail #455. It is an especially interesting wildflower hike in early summer as it passes through eastside coniferous woodland as well as dry meadows and the lush Bottle Prairie. There are some views to Mount Hood , and the main viewpoint on the loop, Perry Point , offers a vista to the rolling uplands of the Columbia Plateau. If you are camping at the Knebal Springs Trailhead , you could also begin the loop there: a Northwest Forest Pass is required.
