Thorp Mountain via Knox Creek — Saturday, Jun. 28, 2025

First the disclaimer, we did not make it to the lookout because we didn't calculate our time correctly. this report will talk about the trail up to the point where it intersets with the Kachess Ridge trail.

The good: the trail has beautiful views all the way up. There was a breeze , that at times was chilly and other times refreshing. The wildflowers are popping everywhere and are stunning.

The not so good: road 4308 is rough and I would recommend only trying it with a high clearance vehicle. the trail is narrow( about.
Fifteen inches), slanted, and steep. This wasn't too much of a problem on the way up, but it was a concern on the way down. We took it extremely slowly to avoid sliding or falling on the dusty, loose gravel trail.
The directions
from wta show the trailhead about 0.25 miles earlier than the actual location. There is not a sign.
