We did this Southbound from the Panther Creek Campground to the Rock Creek Road. Easy going but the season water is gone. Wind River, Trout Creek, Rock Creek and the stream just North of Rock Creek are really the only available water. No seasonal water until the rains come back. It was in the 90's and 3 liters each was not enough for the day.
Camps at Wind River, Trout Creek, Rock Creek are very inviting.
A few views of Mount Adams and Mount Hood along the way, but mostly forest walking through Hemlocks and Douglas Firs. The trail needs to be brushed in a few places.
The highlights are the flowing water, bridges and seeing the spotted owl.
