Thirteenmile, Thirteenmile via Bear Pot Trailhead — Sunday, May. 11, 2014

Eastern Washington > Okanogan Highlands/Kettle River Range

Trail hike/run from the Bear Pot trailhead to the top of Thirteenmile Mountain. Road was in good condition and I had no issues reaching the trailhead. Bear Pot trail had a few down trees just before reaching the old cabin, otherwise it was in good condition. Once reaching the Thirteenmile Trail (#23) I had no issues making it all the way up to Thirteenmile Mountain. Great trail to check out early in the season, but I can imagine it getting a little hot here later in the summer. Thirteenmile Creek was flowing well, and I got wet feet trying to get across it, but no big deal! The balsamroot was in full bloom and there were great views across this remote corner of the Colville NF.
