Trail Overview

Excavation Gulch is a single-track spur off of Beason Meadows that heads south to an ATV trail. It starts as a narrow and shelfy trail along the side of a hill in the forest of white pines, then pops out into a burn area with clear-cut logs and burn piles. It goes along a spine with the burn area on both sides of the trail, and lots of wooden water bars crossing the trail to divert water. The trail widens when you are out of the trees, and then narrows again as it goes back into the trees before ending on the ATV trail. The trail has no real obstacles, but is slightly more difficult in the beginning due to the narrow sections of trail.

Access Description

The Giant White Pine trail system is made up of 10 or so easy-to-intermediate single tracks in the Clearwater National Forest near Emida, Idaho. The trailhead is at the paid Giant White Pine Campground, but there are only a few parking spaces here for small vehicles. Another good area to stage is at the Palouse Divide Nordic Ski Area on the north end of this trail system. This is a larger pull-off on Highway 6 that can accommodate more vehicles and bigger rigs. This area can have frequent trail closures due to logging activity in the area, so it's best to check with the Forest Service website ahead of time for closures along White Pine Drive.
