Arrived at the Eightmile trailhead around 9:30am. The WTA written directions are correct - 6 miles down the gravel road that you turn right onto. The link to directions stops about 3 miles down the road. The road is rough - potholes and some small washouts. But nothing prohibitive. The trailhead parking is just along the road. There were four cars when we arrived and room for maybe 8-10 total. Mosquitos were really annoying so we doused ourselves in bug spray as soon as we got out of the car.
The trail pretty much climbs straight up in the forest until you get close to the pass when it flattens out. It was pretty well defined and easy to follow. We saw climbers at Three O’clock Rock, but very few people on the trail overall. A great trail to get away from crowds. We arrived at the Pass around 11:45, and stayed quite a while eating and enjoying the views. We made it back down around 2:30pm.
