Land OwnerUSFS
The best early season trail for mountain biking, horseback riding, and hiking. Crossings at Scatter and Slate creeks may become difficult in the spring due to high water. Generally up and down route is along hillside above the Twisp River. Highlights: Occasional views. A good day trip for a family outing.
This is a multi use trail, please respect other users. (hiking / horses)

This trail is heavily impacted by the fires. The lower section has several huge blow-outs and lots of downed logs, even a pile of logs in one place. The top section is very over grown, very rocky and more downed logs. The center section is decent, if I were to do it again, I'd start at where the trail crosses Buttermilk Creek Rd and turn around at Poplar Flats or Scatter Creek. Good luck.

Twisp River Snopark Trailhead to War Creek: only one log to get off for and step over. Scaffold Camp Cr a wet crossing, may able to ride in west direction, have to walk thru coming back. War Cr to Scatter Cr: only one spot to step over logs. Scatter Cr was only one requiring getting off and wet up to knees; others could be ridden thru or walked over via logs (Little Slate Cr). Thank you MV Backcountry Horsemen for maintaining this trail! Enjoy, MTBers!

Slate Creek was raging on memorial day. Didn't attempt to cross.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
