Trail Overview

Blanchard Mountain is a 3.8-mile out-and-back trail ending at Salish Overlook. The road surface is well-maintained and passable by any vehicle. Some potholes and washboarding will slow down cars and trucks. This is a popular trail with lots of blind corners and small hillcrests, so make sure to stay to the right! A Discover Pass is required to be on Blanchard Mountain.

Very icy in some spots with a few cars stuck in the ditch. I would not recommend it in the current conditions unless you have chains or the skills.

Beautiful views at the end overlooking the ocean. Fun little drive the whole way. We enjoy the forests tho. It is out and back.
