This trail starts at the junction with the Chiwaukum Creek Trail and continues 1.3 miles along the valley floor to a junction with Glacier Creek (past here the trail is closed to stock). It becomes much steeper and rockier here, ascending 2 more miles to Chiwaukum Lake, and a further 4 miles through fire-damaged forest and subalpine terrain to Larch Lake.
If you visit, use existing sites and do not camp on vegetation. There are no campfires allowed above 5000 feet, which includes Chiwaukum Lake and Larch Lake. There is also no camping within 200 feet of Larch Lake.
