Trail Overview

Either end of this trail starts as a two-lane forest road. The middle section is where this trail gets its rating. The middle section is single lane, moderately steep, and has rain washes and ruts up to two feet deep. The middle section of this trail is very tight with few places to pass, and even fewer places to turn around. Expect pin stripping. With good line choice, all the ruts and ledges are easily passable with a high clearance 4x4 on 33-inch tires. This trail is an excellent route from the Mount Spokane area at the end of Highway 206 to the Newman Lake area.

Difficulty

The rain washes are 2 feet deep in places, and it can get really muddy. If done in drier weather and with good line choice, it’s easily doable with a high clearance 4x4. Low clearance AWD or 2WD is not recommended.
