SaveBearhead Mountain (6,089’) is the highest point in this wilderness, towering above Clearwater River headwaters. Old-growth Douglas fir, western red cedar and western hemlock shade the ridges with ferns and mosses forming the understory. Ninety percent of the annual precipitation falls between October and May, and as much as 25 feet of snow often lingers in high elevations until late July. You can expect to see bears, deer, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, marmots and elk.
Summit Lake Trail takes you through the forest 2.5 miles and gradually ascends to the lake. The Clearwater Trail (8.1 miles) descends east to the Clearwater River, then crosses Lily Creek and climbs to a small lake and on to the western Wilderness boundary. From the same trailhead as the Clearwater Trail, the Carbon Trail wanders south in a long bend for 9.4 miles to join the Summit Lake Trail. You may see quite a few other people, especially on weekends.
