Trip Report

Turkey Creek, Oregon Butte, Mount Misery & Panjab Trail — Tuesday, Jul. 23, 2019

Eastern Washington > Palouse and Blue Mountains

Great trail for a summer hike with dogs due to the number of creek crossings. Very easy crossings in late July. Started at Panjab TH and made the right turn up Turkey Creek Tr. The trail from the Panjab TR junction is beautiful. Berry bushes, old growth, flowers. Steady but never a strenuous climb up to the Teepee TH.

We continued on to Oregon Butte then along the ridge to the north to meet up with the Panjab Tr to make a loop back down to the Panjab TH.

Plenty of water along the first 3/4 of Turkey Creek, one spring with a built in trough on the Oregon Butte trail, then no water on the ridge (Mt Misery) heading to the Panjab Tr. Next water option is about a mile down Panjab Tr from Mt Misery Tr. 

Thunderstorms came in while we were on the ridge so we jogged most of it to limit our time up there.
