Hike Description

Park at the Mountain House Trailhead and cross the bridge over the river to find the Old Wagon Road. Head upstream (and uphill) through alternating stands of alder and old growth Douglas-firs. You will cross several footbridges on this section of the wagon road, until you get to a signed junction for the House Rock area. Turn left (north) off the Wagon Road onto the House Rock Loop trail.
