Five hikers from the Fun, Fit and Over Fifty Club in the Tri-Cities did this hike on a perfect fall day. The hike is in the Umatilla National Forest northeast of Dayton. It is a nice valley hike along Panjab Creek and up a ridge to a meadow called Indian Corral where there is an intersection for several trails. The hike was 5.46 to the meadow for a total hike of about 11 miles rt with an elevation gain of 2466 ft (total climb elevation was 3460 by my gps). The trail is good although wet in places. This is a beautiful hike through some nice forest to open meadows. We heard elk on the way down.
