Trail Overview

This is an amazing trail. You get to drive through thick beautiful forest, following a stunning clear water creek with a couple of camping spots by it. Big Mountain surrounds the whole area. You start with climbing the mountain, then drop down to the creek and climb back out. It's a great trail to do after Moon Pass.
