Halls of Manzanita Trail is a 2-mile out-and-back hike in Oregon, about 2.4 miles from the town of Jacksonville. The trail climbs from a low point of 2,258 feet to a high of 2,878 feet, with a total elevation gain of 1,553 feet over the round trip. The steepest stretch comes early, at about 0.3 miles in, where the grade reaches 29 percent. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically late spring and early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Ruch, Oregon, run to highs around 75°F in May and 72°F in October, while July and August average highs in the low 90s. That station sits well below the trail, so temperatures on the higher ground run cooler. The hike takes about two hours. The Cantrall Creek Trail and the Connector Trail P4 to Cantrall Creek both start about 0.1 mile away, and the Naversen Family Trail and Norling Trail are each about 0.4 mile off.
