If the Underworld has anything in common with Hells Canyon, a dramatically beautiful stretch of cliff-framed river in northeast Oregon, it can't be all that bad, particularly if you're a hiker, white-water enthusiasts or landscape-lover.
This trail descends into Myrtle Creek Drainage and dissects Myrtle Creek Trail No. 308. This trail provides good scenic viewing as trail descends into canyon.
