Greentrails - Silverton #110

At one time used by miners, the main traffic now consists of climbers starting their climb of Whitehorse Mountain. Gaining over 1000 feet per mile, this trail is for those wanting a workout. The trail is periodically maintained (expect brush, fallen logs) but the reward is views of the Stillaguamish Valley with views of Round Mountain, Segelson Ridge and Mount Baker dominating the northern view.

Directions: From Darrington Ranger Station, take Highway #530 west for 6 miles to the Whitehorse Store. Turn left (south) on the Mine Road #2030 and follow for 2.5 miles to the trailhead on the right.
