Trail Overview

Cook Creek Road is an easy-going logging road. There are multiple cliff drop sides, but the terrain is very easy to navigate. There are multiple potholes but no real obstacles and the road is primarily dirt and gravel. A few large rocks may create problems for vehicles with limited height clearance. You won't find cell service on this trail. There are multiple designated campsites that are first come, first served without reservations. The campsites are large and include a designated fire pit. All campsites appear to be in good order, with occasional mud sections and are relatively closed in from weather.

Went all the way around wolf’s peak. Going up was super easy but coming back down was hard on oem brakes.

Long easy trail. Multiple places to stop and take pictures. At the top at 3200 feet we thought we could see the Pacific Ocean.

We came in from the Tillamook side, up along the Kilches River. Road was unobstructed the entire way. Only trace amounts of snow left in the ditches. There is a washout/slide at MP 5.5 that is passable. It's been there for a year that I'm aware of. Not preventing anyone from getting by.

We gave it a hot, but snowed in. We had to back out after trying for about 3/4th mile. In full disclosure: This was my first wheeling. I did not air down the tires (lesson learnt). But unsure even if I did, how much further I would have gone up. We did King of the Hill safely and had fun.
