 Easy 3.0 Miles One-way

Directions

From the Darrington Ranger District office, take Mt. Loop Highway south for 4 miles. The trailhead is on the left side of the road. A second parking area for the barrier-free loop trail is approximately two miles further up Mt. Loop Highway. At 6.6 miles from the ranger district is a small paved pullout at Murphy Creek and the southern trailhead.

Notes

Wind through remnant old growth, mature second growth and young riparian forest on this mossy trail as it follows the Sauk River. The addition of a new barrier-free loop trail, accessed from a second parking area, make this a good choice for hikers of all abilities. Watch birds, view salmon and discover wildlife tracks on this enjoyable outing.
