The trailhead is not located at the location stored in Google Maps. Leaving Darrington the trailhead is about two miles past the Beaver Lake trailhead on the right side of the road, look for a small wooden sign with red letters in a small pullout. The location is 48º 9.4460' N, 121º 25.8642' W.

The trail descends about 150’ along an old logging road for .3 miles. Check out the spikes on the back of the larger diameter tree used to climb it. Amazing that these two old trees were spared the mill.
