Trail Overview

This is a fun, casual trail through serene forests. The route starts on well-graded forest roads off Snow Creek Road before quickly narrowing after leaving the main track. An out-and-back trail to a secluded alder grove, you'll encounter tight squeezes through underbrush and large flooded washouts, punctuated by overhanging widowmakers to keep you on your toes. Rock-crawling skills are not required, but the overgrown two track is not suitable for low-clearance or wide-bodied vehicles.

Packed dirt and gravel with pot holes some big enough to fill with water but not deep. I kept the truck in 2 wheel drive

I gave this trail a 3 out of 10. I was very tempted to go with a 2 out of 10. Lot of Subarus and a Dodge Caravan were near the end of the trail. Most of them were mushroom pickers. Nothing technical on the trail. Some pot holes, the bigger ones filled with water but not deep. No real “steep” ledges or hills to climb. I took my Tundra to the end and ended up with light organic pin striping.

Just small patches of snow on the side. Totally durable, there ain’t much puddles to jump around. Possibly like 4 or 5 at the time we went. No good areas for roof top tent camping at all or views but short fun trail.
