Description

This is a wilderness trail so only hiking and horseback riding allowed. Access to the upper trail is via the Lake Creek #3079 trail. It offers a great trail through a mixed forest of pine, fir and tamarack opening up to ridge line views of the North Fork Umatilla River canyon. The lower trail is steep but is worth the climb.
