Trail Overview

Following Cabin Creek Road, this trail is mostly easy and one of the ways to get across Stampede Pass. At about 2 miles in, the road and bridge that crossed Cabin Creek are washed out, and there is a detour that brings you to a shallow (in the fall) water crossing at Cabin Creek. From there, the trail gets very narrow through young fir trees. I could not continue with my Suburban, but a smaller vehicle like a Jeep or 4Runner will not have any issues.

Bridge looks pretty unstable and a bunch of road closed signs.

Bridge is still down. The bypass to the left has been blocked. Had to backtrack and exit by Keechelus

Cole Creek Bridge is damaged and closed, but I checked the ranger district website and it said the detour is on the stampede pass side.

Trail was open until a sign in front of the bridge at about NF-140. Water looked too high/fast to cross anyways, at least for my personal comfort level as a newbie. Road is wide and in good condition, just a couple of potholes.
