Valley Of The Giants is a short, easy hike on Bureau of Land Management land within the Nw Oregon Marys Peak Field Office in Oregon. The route is about 0.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 310 feet. It starts near 1,350 feet and reaches about 1,385 feet, and the climb is the most pronounced in the first 0.2 miles, where the grade reaches about 21%. The most comfortable time to go is summer, when typical July and August highs reach about 80 to 81°F with only three wet days a month, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits about 700 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. The hike takes about half an hour. Paddlers will find the North Fork Siletz River about 1.3 miles away and Warnicke Creek about 1.9 miles off. Drift Creek Falls is a hike roughly 7 miles away.
