Trail Overview

The journey begins with an opportunity to observe whitewater kayakers on the White Salmon River at Northwestern Park, providing a perfect spot to relax and enjoy the surroundings. Continuing west a short distance and turning left onto Nestor Peak Road/N-1000, the road ascends the ridge, passing through sharp blind curves. It eventually reaches the Buck Creek trail access, a popular spot for outdoor enthusiasts, including mountain bikers, hikers, and equestrians. Continuing upward, travelers encounter a "Y" intersection where they must bear left onto N-4000 towards Little Baldy Peak, with views of Mt. Hood and surrounding foothills offering stunning photo opportunities along the way.
