Hike Description
Park at the end of Woods Creek Road and go through the gate. The trailhead is immediately on your right. The trail climbs a short disance, then flattens out in an almost park like setting of huge Douglas-fir trees with a moss understory. This is an excellent area for mushrooms in the fall, and is likely the only time you will run into others on this normally quiet trail. In about a half mile, you will come to a Y junction in the trail. Go right, and you will begin a long series of switchback up the steep hillside of the north ridge. The moss disappears, and there is very little vegetation in the dark understory for most of this section.
At 3 1/2 miles, you will reach the tie trail junction- with a bench. Go left onto the tie trail towards Connor's Camp**
- If you want a longer hike, go right at the tie trail junction staying on the North ridge trail to the Summit Parking Area. Here you can add the Marys Peak Summit Hike, and or the Marys Peak Meadow Edge Hike.
