West Crater Island

Trail Overview

This is a unique trail that travels along the west side of Crater Island over the mud flats. The landscape feels other-worldly and has nice views of Crater Island and the Pilot Mountain Range. The trail can be a little difficult to follow at times; stick to the tire tracks and keep an eye on the map. This trail is not recommended in early spring or anytime there has been a lot of rain--it will likely get muddy and there is a good chance of getting stuck or causing trail damage.
