Follow Highway for 32 miles to the intersection with Mountain Loop
Highway in Darrington. Turn right and follow the road for 2.8 miles.
Turn right on road #2060 (after Mt. Baker Snoqualmie National Forest
sign, but before Clear Creek Campground). Follow the road for about
5.8 miles to the fork, where Road #2065 goes to the right, and Road
#2060 goes to the left. The junction is not marked, so pay attention
not to miss it. Continue on Road #2060. The road crosses a bridge
over Eightmile Creek and continues for about 4 miles to the trailhead.
The road is very overgrown with bushes, so you can continue by car,
if you don't care to put another scratch on it (well, not one really).
The trailhead is on the right side of the road about 300 feet before
the road end. Look for stone cairns on the side of the road and
a little up hill.
