Highlight • Trail

Embark on a 1.5-mile forested loop trail within a protected habitat area. Park near the small bridge and follow the old road for about 100 feet (ca. 30 m). Turn left onto the winding trail, which will eventually rejoin the road further down. A Washington State Discover Pass is required for parking.
