Standley Ridge Trail is a 10-mile out-and-back hike in Oregon's Eagle Cap Wilderness, part of the Eagle Cap Ranger District of the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail starts at about 7,260 feet, rising to a high point of 7,285 feet before descending back to the same level. The total climb is 3,015 feet, and the route is rated hard. The steepest stretch comes at about 2.7 miles in, where the grade reaches 22 percent. That makes the trail a serious commitment, and the trip is estimated to take about five hours. The Washboard Trail and Bear Minam Trail both lie about 0.1 mile away, and Dobbin Creek Trail is under a mile off. For an overnight base, Boundary Campground is about 6 miles away.
