Trail Overview

This trail is a dead end with several short spurs branching off the main route. It features steady ascents and descents with occasional flat areas suitable for parking or camping. The road includes loose rocks, small V-notches, and shallow undulations up to 12 inches in height. Near the end, large boulders block the route with little space to turn around, requiring drivers to back down carefully alongside a drop-off on the passenger side. The Skykomish Ranger Station is located less than a mile to the east.

Difficulty

The road is a good incline at times with loose rocks. The road ends with large boulders blocking most of the road without room to turn around. This means backing down with a drop-off on the passenger side may be required. There are a few small V-notches and undulations not more than 12 inches in height.

History

The area was impacted by the Bolt Creek Fire in 2022. The latter end of the drive will be exposed and in the burn scar.

Easy trail with long stretches of steady incline. Loose rock in places, overall fairly smooth trail. Recommend airing down. Former Bolt Creek fire area, clears out quite a bit at the top. There are several side trails near the power lines. Decent views of the surrounding mountains. Less than 1.5 hour round trip taking it slow and a quick break before turning around. 3 point turn possible at lookout area, watch the edge. This is where the OnX trail line ends, but the trail does.continue.

No snow anywhere on the trail. Made it all the way up. Pretty steep with some slight rutting and loose rocks. Went up in 4 low just because my transmission was heating up from the steady steep climb. Otherwise 4 lo probably not needed. Pretty cool clear cut/burned open area at the top with a large waterfall.
