The trail provides an excellent opportunity
to hike through dense virgin forest. It is one of few places where
such a long hike can be found so far up one valley (even though
a logging road is less than a mile from the trail at midpoint,
gated).
Directions: Drive US 2 east of Skykomish and
past Deception falls 0.2 miles. Turn right on road #6088 signed
Deception Creek Trail. 0.4 miles in you pass under power lines
to the road end and trailhead.
