This long trail provides hikers with great views of the corridor in the Coast Range. As the trail follows public land for the most part, there are a couple sections with steady elevation gains to avoid private land: near Lees Camp and Ryan Creek.

Although the trail receives some of the most rainfall in the state, it is open to hike during all seasons. Be sure to check trail conditions before heading out as there may be a closure due to damaged sections. Be sure to check with the Oregon Department of Forestry during winter months for any trail updates.

Some people decide to do this hike in portions, making it more doable as a day hike.
