Description
This track is the western two-thirds or so of Trail #245 Forks of Cranberry. The western end is steep and poorly marked. There are no established campsites and little water. Much of the trail is a narrow opening through rhododendron bushes under towering evergreens. There are some good views, but much is blocked by the rhododendrons.
