Alderwood
Campground is dispersed and you must be self
contained. Located next to the Hellsgate Wilderness, Alderwood
is noted for its rainbow trout fishing and its proximity
to trails for horseback riding. Haigler
Creek flows through the campground and is stocked
with rainbow trout from April through late August. There
are nice swimming holes available in and around the campground
to cool off during the summer months. Solitude is something
you can definitley appreciate here. Also, the campground
is well shaded. After heavy rain, a four wheel drive vehicle
isn't a must but is nice.
The
Rim Visitors Information Center is located at the junction
of the S. R. 260 and Rim Road.
