An accessible loop on packed gravel takes you through old-growth Douglas-firs and hemlocks, some over 500 years in age. Although very close to Highway 20, the towering majesty of these conifers and the density of the forest eliminate some of the traffic noise. Hikers may want to branch off on a rougher tread that descends to Hackleman Creek. The middle trail, part of the accessible loop, has the biggest trees. The other side of the accessible loop is part of the route of the 1860s Santiam Wagon Road. Thus, to do all three routes, you will have to double up on one, as in the directions below.
