Location Information
Milk Creek Trail is a moderate 6.5 mile hike or horseback ride. The trail begins off the Suiattle River Trail #784 and ends at the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail. The trail starts in a magnificent grove of old-growth trees, climbing gradually to Mill Creek Valley. The route winds through a dark rain forest and crosses numerous streams. A campsite is found at 3 miles. Following a gentle slope, the trail then climbs across a steep timbered hillside and ends at the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail.
