From Road 9712, the trail crosses Naneum Creek and skirts the southwest edge of Haney Meadow. It then continues through a low saddle and descends to Howard Creek. Here, those wishing to create the 7-mile Mount Lillian loop can turn left onto Howard Creek (#1372). Otherwise, Old Ellensburg (#1373) continues southeast, crossing Howard Creek then climbs to its end at Grouse Springs and Grouse Springs Trail (#1371.1).
It is also possible to continue on the Grouse Spring trail up to Road 9712, then turn and walk up the road to loop with the Howard Creek trail or walk all the way along the road back to your car. There is an intricate network of trails to be explored here — bring a map and come back again and again!
