Trail Overview

On the Willow side of Hatchers Pass. When you cross over the bridge about 2.5 miles, you will find a lot on your right, then about another mile and half on the left will be the trailhead. This trail offers a wide variety of terrains. You have some hill climbing, water crossing, mountainside riding, and nice flat areas to ride. This is a wonderful ride.

Difficulty

The trail starts off with an 8-inch water crossing. That then goes into a rocky hill climb. Once you crest the top of that, you will be up on the top side of the mountain, working your way back down to the creek. Once you get down to the bottom, you will encounter a big muddy area to stay to the far right. You can cross over Purches Creek, but the water can get deep if you don't stay to the right.
