Overview
This beautiful hike down a slope of Coast Range old-growth offers a glimpse into pre-settler times when tall trees towered over a thick, lush understory that sheltered a host of deep forest creatures. You’ll end up at a bottomland along pristine Drift Creek, where there once was a small homestead whose remains are long gone. The trail is short, and thus it is the most popular entrance to the Drift Creek Wilderness. There are only a couple of short steep sections. If you are overnighting at one of the campsites, you can also try fishing the creek for trout and gathering the crawdads that roam the creek bed. Chinook and coho salmon spawn here in the fall.
