The Mill Creek Wilderness is a fairly small, fairly unknown wilderness area in Eastern Oregon, about 15 miles northeast of Prineville.
Location: Mill Creek Wilderness, east of Prineville
- States: Oregon
- Counties: Crook
The "mountains" are more like hills, reaching 6000 feet in elevation. Mill Creek runs through the middle of it. From the creek, you can see the surrounding hills of the wilderness. The trail goes up to summit ridges, from where you can see Mill Creek and glimpses of the surrounding area including the Three Sisters in the Cascades. There are a number of interesting rock spires, including the Twin Pillars which the trail passes close to.
