Maybe, as the website states, when this trail was made it was wheelchair accessible, but it no longer is. It’s also a little hard to find. The trail can be accessed from westbound US-2 only. If coming from US-2 eastbound, a short amount of backtracking is required. Look for the road signs and then look for the start of the trail behind the official forest service sign.
The trail is a loop. Go clockwise and up the short hill for the easier access. This leads to an overlook with a partial view of the Nason Creek tumbling over rocks. The trail stays wide but goes downhill and wheelchair access become impossible due to washed out areas and the overgrowth of berry bushes. The map and text on the website do not accurately portray the mileage. It’s only about 1/3 mile for the loop, not 1 mile.
The parking area, which is a pull off on the side of US-2, is large enough for any RV.
Trail 47.78381, -121.02898
Weird that the forest service would be so off on their loop mileage, isn't it? I know berry bushes (esp in those parts) can be invasive and hard to keep off trails. This might be one of those paths that we can skip!
ReplyDeleteIt makes a nice break if you've been driving a while but it does need some maintenance.
