Basin

Trail Overview

At the edge of Mount Reiner, nestled in the Gifford Pinchot Forest just south of the Nisqually River, Basin hides along Forest Road 52 just a few miles down Marten. It is a densely forested road containing a few campsites and ending in a large campsite. Dulah, along this path, is no longer accessible. Fallen trees make for an unlikely adventure for tall vehicles. But if you are looking for an adventurous trail not too far from civilization, this is an excellent trail to test your abilities. There were no visible water access points. Near the end of the trail, a log in the road makes high clearance or a chainsaw necessary.

Difficulty

At the time of mapping this out a small log in the road needed 20 inches of clearance. The road has deep cuts due to water run-off leading to driving relatively sideways at points. This trail is a single-car-wide trail. The end of the trail needed to be mapped on foot.
