Alder Springs Campground

This small, rustic site is right on the side of the historic McKenzie Pass Highway. Surrounded by towering Douglas fir trees, this is a perfect spot to be on a warm day. Access to Linton Lake Trailhead in the Three Sisters Wilderness is immediately across the highway from the campground.
