Drift Creek Wilderness, Protected wilderness area in Siuslaw National Forest, Oregon, US
The 5,798-acre territory stretches across varied elevations from 150 to 1,500 feet, featuring dense forests and multiple creek systems throughout the landscape.
Members of the Alsea tribe inhabited the land before European settlement, utilizing the natural resources for hunting and gathering berries in the region.
The Harris Ranch Trail contains remnants of early 20th-century settlement, including a moss-covered stove from the former homestead of Earl Harris.
The wilderness receives 120 inches of annual rainfall, making waterproof gear essential for visitors exploring the 8.5 miles of hiking trails.
The forest harbors one of the largest remaining old-growth stands in the Coast Range, providing habitat for northern spotted owls and bald eagles.
