West Mesatchee

Trail Overview

At the edge of Mount Reiner, nestled in the Gifford Pinchot Forest just south of the Nisqually River, West Mesatchee hides along Forest Road 52 towards the end of Mesatchee. It is a densely forested road ending in a campsite. This trail ends early due to overgrowth. But if you are looking for a foraging trail not too far from civilization, this is an excellent trail. There were no visible paths to easy water access. If you happen to find access, please add a trail report. This trail is one car, sometimes two cars wide, unmaintained, and made of dirt.
