Description
This is a trail junction between two heavily traveled trails. There are two routes to the north, the Ruckel Creek Trail to Eagle Creek Trailhead and the Pacific Crest Trail to either Herman Creek Trailhead or the Bridge of the Gods Trailhead. To the south, the Crest Trail heads to Wahtum Lake and on to Mount Hood.
As of May 2014, the junction sign was lying on the ground at the base of a tree.
