Make plans now to attend the 2025 Kettle Rendezvous camp & hike at Jungle Hill Campground, located one mile north of SR 20 of Albian Hill Road and east of Sherman Pass in the Kettle River Range. This annual celebration is suitable for all ages. Enjoy the company of friends and a chance to meet new ones. Relax, hike a favorite trail or a new one — or just hang out at camp, hike on your own and enjoy good food and the company of outdoor enthusiasts.
