About this campground
This loop trail begins and ends at the Wickersham trailhead. The initial leg of the trail starts on the Summit Trail and crosses south to the Wickersham Creek Trail then returns back to the trailhead. The trail climbs for one mile to an overlook before descending into a forested saddle and back to the trailhead. The section of trail between the Summit and Wickersham Creek trails is primarily a winter trail, is extremely wet and boggy and not recommended for travel in the summer. This trail is non-motorized year-round.
