Trail Overview

A short trail that takes you to an awesome camp spot near a small waterfall and creek. Old-growth type forest lines the trail and the last section to the camp spot is lined with ferns. Decent spot for a few vehicles and is very secluded. Beautiful all year and even better in the snow. The trail is an easy fire road but crosses over a little rut and climbs a bit into the campsite.

Difficulty

Trail is a fire road for 95 percent but then you turn onto a tight trail that begins with a rut and you need to clip up a little to the camp spot. Does get very muddy when it rains and there is snow in the winter but not very deep.

Status Reports

Trail has a few potholes, and is muddy after a rain. It’s nice and wide with plenty of spots to pull off/ turn around. The road ends at boulder River trailhead which takes you on an 8.1 mile hike past a few waterfalls along the river.

Trail is fine in lost places but there are quite few stretches with numerous potholes that may cause issues for lower vehicles. Take your time and you’ll do fine.
