DIRECTIONS: The trailhead is located after about 2Km of the logging road and just before you encounter the first bridge. You can park before the bridge where the trailhead is to your right or after the bridge where there is more parking space available.create
SUMMARY: After driving 2Km along Sylvester logging road and just before the first bridge is the trailhead. The first section of the trail is well-groomed and marked and it connects you to another logging road, turn left. This road goes for another 1.7Km where it meets the trail again. New forest service roads have been implemented. Turn left on the first junction (do not take the new road), turn left at the second junction, at the third junction turn left again-- this will take you onto the old logging road before renovations. For reference, you should be heading along the left side of the mountain and encounter a waterfall. The junction for the trail is not obvious and it can be missed (sometimes an old snowshoe marks the beginning). If you find yourself at the creek, you went too far along the logging road (not sure if this creek survived renovations).

Note: they recently may be implementing a quarry nearby. There are signs warning about blasting zones and whistle sounds... Also since this is an active logging area the roads are subject to change
