Getting There
From Cougar, drive east on Highway 503/Forest Road 90 to one mile beyond the Swift Dam. Turn left (north) onto Forest Road 83. Continue 3 miles on this road and then turn left onto Forest Road 81. Proceed to the junction with Forest Road 8123. Turn right (north) and drive to the trailhead at the end of the road.
