Horse camping for Hell Canyon CCW

We’ve ridden Hell Canyon in both directions, but according to locals, the preferred route is counterclockwise (CCW). Riding CCW offers significantly better views and helps avoid encountering other riders head-on in some of the narrower, more challenging sections of the trail. This is a stunning ride overall, and it becomes especially memorable in the fall when the landscape comes alive with changing colors.
