Trail Overview

This trail in Skagit County, Washington, takes you through dense lush forest, covered in thick mosses, sword ferns, and evergreen trees. Drivers can expect boulder-strewn pathways, deep muddy ruts, and large rock obstacles with bypasses. Due to limited parking on weekends, arriving early is recommended to secure a spot. A Discovery Pass is required to park at Walker Valley ORV.

History

The park was originally used as a logging camp in the early 1900s and later converted into a mining operation that produced gold, silver, and copper. It is now an active logging area.
