Location Information
This trail is open to foot and horse traffic only since it is located within the North Fork Umatilla Wilderness.

The trail climbs 2050 feet in 4 miles, passing through stands of timber and open areas hosting native grasses. The trail receives light use; encounters with other recreationists are rare.
From the trail one can access Grouse Mountain which offers dispersed camping. Parking is available at either trailhead. There is a horse unloading ramp at the lower trailhead.
