The Bridge at the Big Creek Camp Ground is still out, so park there and walk west on 119. Just after the road goes over Big Creek you will see orange markers leading the way to the trail. It's actually a nice little makeshift trailhead that leads under some great moss ridden downed trees. We stayed to the left at the fork. Tons of moss overgrowth accompanying much debris. The trail is a pretty steady incline, we hiked 1.7 miles to the Confluence loop trail. Snow in places up to a 1.5 miles, after that it's all snow. Watch your step on the loop trail, the snow is deep and icy hiding many a rouge hole and parts of the river. We spent a good amount of time crossing back and forth across the creeks exploring plenty of pools and falls. Massive boulders line the banks and beds and create all sorts of good action. Still pretty cold and we encountered some "snowy hail". We also enjoyed the small foot bridges, but they were still icy, so use caution.
       We had to return to Kitsap to pick up our daughter from school so we tunred around there. We'll surely return to hike the rest of the Big Creek Loop.
