      If trying to ride Cascade to Graysill do not follow this map. Trail isn't really marked correctly on here. Rode this today. When you see the sign for Engine Creek trail on the right make a left turn to cross the creek to connect with Graysill. Do not go straight like this map shows and look for another trail across the creek. Trail is super overgrown and hard to follow after the engine creek sign and I never saw another trail turn left across the creek. Going straight will take you to a cool waterfall though.

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
