| Trail Map |
This trail leaves the Middle Fork of Payette River and climbs to the ridge between the Middle Fork and the North Fork of the Payette. There are views of Wetfoot Creek and the Middle Fork as the trail ascends, and the timber types change from ponderosa pine to subalpine fir at the upper elevations. The trail is easily accessed from the Boiling Springs Campground or Guard Station. Partway up, the trail intersects a logging road that is open to ATVs and motorcycles but closed to full size vehicles. You will have to use the system road to connect to the upper portion of the trail.
To access this trail, take NF-698 from Crouch for approximately 22.3 mile to the end. The trailhead is located on the left.
