Mill Creek Wilderness, US Wilderness Area in Ochoco National Forest, Oregon.
Mill Creek Wilderness spans 17,400 acres of steep mountain terrain with dense forests, alpine meadows, and numerous streams supporting diverse plant life.
Established in 1984, this area contained the first sawmill in Crook County, which operated along Mill Creek and provided lumber for early settlements.
The wilderness maintains strict preservation protocols, allowing visitors to experience untouched natural environments while practicing Leave No Trace principles.
Multiple trailheads provide access to hiking paths of varying difficulty levels, with winter conditions limiting accessibility from December through March.
Twin Pillars, two volcanic formations reaching 200 feet in height, stand as geological landmarks within the wilderness boundaries.
