Directions
Beginning off the Sloan Creek road at the former Sloan Creek Campground site.
Notes
Trail begins in a rain forest climbing through avalanche tracks, following the river approximately 5.7 miles. Numerous switchbacks make for a hard climbing ending at the Pacific Crest Trail at 8.5 miles. Splendid views and alpine meadows make it well worth the effort. Be sure and carry water as the springs on the trail do dry up into summer. One can make a loop trip by turning south on the Pacific Crest Trail and continuing on for 6.5 miles to the Pilot Ridge Trail #652. Continue on that trail for approximately 11 miles. Total length is 26 miles.
