Overview
The Tarbell Trail is a 22 ¼ mile loop in the western reaches of Washington's Yacolt Burn State Forest that connects the Rock Creek and Cold Creek Campgrounds with Larch Mountain , the western slopes of Silver Star Mountain , and Kloochman Butte (formerly Squaw Butte). Most of this forest has been logged at least once, and you may encounter trail detours around logging operations. The section of the Tarbell Trail that begins at the Tarbell Trailhead is the start of the 22-mile loop and and you will encounter mileage markers along the way. While much of the forest is secondary forest, with some clearcuts that offer your only expansive views, there are pockets of older woodland on the slopes of Silver Star Mountain . The objective is Hidden Falls , a spectacular and unexpected drop on the South Fork Coyote Creek. The Tarbell Trail is shared with mountain bikers and horses, so be prepared to make way when occasion arises.
