Before You Go

The trailhead is inaccessible from the south due to the washout on FR 25. It is still accessible from the north via FR 25.

A bridge closure on FR 25 through November means accessing this trail requires a detour. Travel south on FR 23 and then take FR 28 to FR 76. Then travel west on FR 76. Note that FR 76 is rough and single-laned with turnouts. It may also have logging traffic.

WTA Pro Tip: Save a copy of our directions before you leave! App-based driving directions aren't always accurate and data connections may be unreliable as you drive to the trailhead.

Getting There

From Randle, head south on WA-131 for 2.7 miles and continue straight on Forest Road 25 for another 19 miles. Then turn left onto Forest Road 28 and follow for about 2.3 miles. The Mosquito Meadows trailhead will be on the right side of the road.
