🚗 Getting There

Drive to Monroe, then take Highway 2 through Startup, Goldbar, and Index. A little past Skykomish, make a right 1/2 mile past mile marker 58. Cross over the railroad tracks, turn right, and find a road far to the right. Follow the road 0.2 miles to the trailhead.

📝 Trip Notes

  • First real outing in such a long time!
  • Hiking along the creek was great, any breeze meant free "air conditioning"
