Trail Conditions

Notes

This was a great wilderness hike. Road to actually trailhead which is the beginning of the atv trail is no longer accessible driving too.... bridge over stream is gone and boulders are blocking road. Atv trail is easy hiking.... trail then turns into a stream bed which has a few blowdowns to maneuver around. At a rock cairn you take a right and follow grassy/overgrown old road for about 0.6 miles until another rock cairn... that essentially puts you on the Snow Mountain trail. This is a rugged trail with everything that comes with a classic straight up ( no switchbacks ) trail to a rocky ledge with great views right before the summit. At the summit there is an old tower ( no cabin ) that you can climb up for 360 views. It was pretty cold up there. Really loved this hike. 3.4 mile hike to the summit with over 2000ft of ascent.

Trail Conditions

Notes

Got to the trailhead area and saw the bridge to the logging road area and with holes I said no and parked at a clearing area and added about .6 of a mile to my hike each way. This trail was the easiest of the six. The first half is an atv/ old logging road and if you don't pay attention you can miss the cairn to the real hiking that will lead to a another road and trail to the right with overgrown grass leading to the top. The path to the top is simple and also the widest so far as this was the easiest to reach by car. The old tower on the top is part there with the trash of the old cabin still there.

Parking

Lower access before the bridge that is rotting away and some past the bridge about a 1/2 mile up.

Water Crossings

Small ones none to worry about.

Wildlife

A bit at the lower elevations.
