Oregon Cascades Birding Trail
The Cascades Birding Trail offers outdoor adventure for birders of all interest levels. From the snow-capped summit of Mt. Hood to the marshlands of the Klamath Basin, more than 300 species of birds are found on the trail. This auto trail takes the adventurer along 1,000 miles of scenic roadways to 200 stops where wood ducks float in picturesque lakes, white-headed woodpeckers nest in dense conifer forests, bald eagles fish mountain streams and rufous hummingbirds hover over carpets of seasonal wildflowers. The five loops on the trail link a network of observation sites and birding experiences. In every season, the birds are predictable but changing as they enjoy their natural habitats or migrate along this beautiful Cascade corridor.
