The Swift Creek Trail is part of the Pacific Northwest Trail. This trail is noted to be difficult to follow and that users should have backcountry experience.

Swift Creek is minimally maintained and may require some route finding, especially through the dense vegetation of the steep avalanche slopes. There are no bridges over Rainbow Creek or Swift Creek, so the creek fords can be unsafe any time of year - wait for late summer and the lower water that comes with this time of year.
