Trail Overview

This easy washboard road leads past another entry point for the Sycamore Loop Trail. This one has a pit toilet for when nature calls. There is also a turnout at Sycamore falls. If you're lucky enough, you may make it at a time of year with water flowing. The best bet would most likely be the springtime after a good storm. Then the trail passes the seasonally open Whitehorse Lake and Campground. It's a really nice established campground in the mountains with hiking trails and lake activities. Reservations can be made online to stay there. They have pit toilets and a boat launch. 1 bar LTE service in and out. No winter maintenance. The campground is not open in the winter.
