Itinerary description

Relatively easy trail. Some people come to stay overnight at the camp cabins that they book in advance. The trail that runs on the Northern side of the creek is in fact a road that is used by camp maintenance crew. We saw a note about a museum at the camp. But it was closed when we came to the camp. We looked at the old machinery and returned by the Southern side of the creek and crossed the creek by the Kapetski bridge.

    Closed due to the 2020 fire. Not just this trail but the entire Opal Creek Wilderness.
