Trail Overview
This is an easy gravel forest road that gradually climbs more than 1,200 feet in elevation. The trail is narrow and one lane in many places, but there are places to pass. There are ledges and drop-offs, but the trail is in very good condition. The trail has minor wash and ruts, but any vehicle type could travel this trail. You will have views of the surrounding peaks for most of the way, and the dense forest is very beautiful. Many dispersed camp pull-offs are relatively flat and wide enough for vehicles. Cell phone service was weak, but enough to send messages and make calls. There are no services or amenities along the route, but from the start, you are approximately 15 miles from the City of Kettle Falls, Washington, where you will find any needed supplies or medical assistance.
