Kendall Monument Trail 5

Trail Overview

This route travels from the Kendall Monument to NF-64. It runs in either direction but is closed in the winter. It's not a difficult or technical trail, but it is slow-going due to potholes and generally rocky trail surfaces throughout. The southern end is accessible directly off of Touchet Road, and the northern end is right at the Kendall Monument at the summit of Patrick Grade. Cell service is spotty throughout the trip depending on your cellular carrier, so plan accordingly.

Access Description

North Entrance: From Dayton, take Eckler Mountain Road to the east until it merges with Cemetery Road and then becomes Kendall Skyline Road. Continue on Kendall Skyline Road to the summit where you will see the Kendall Monument on your right, and this is the start of the trail. This is a good place to air down as the trail is rough. South Entrance: From Dayton, take North Touchet Road directly to the intersection with the Kendall Skyline Road, approximately 1.3 miles beyond the entrance to the Bluewood ski area. The trail exits to the left and heads due east back toward Kendall Monument. This is a good place to air down, as the trail is rough.
