SUNDOWN LAKE TRAIL
DIRECTIONS TO : WYNOOCHEE TRAILHEAD NEAREST CAMPGROUND: WYNOOCHEE FALLS RANGER STATION : None and no facilities INFORMATION ABOUT TRAIL : Hike 2.4 miles up through World Class Silver Fir and Mountain Hemlock (climax forest) to the mini-meadow at Wynoochee Pass. Drop down into Graves Creek Basin (large green meadows) then X/C to meet the Sundown Lake trail. This is so lightly used, it has plants growing in the middle of the tread. Pristine. Likely to see elk and bears. This is a minor scramble in parts, nothing dangerous. It is definitely in the moderate range because of the cross country travel of part of the route. Sturdy boots and a "minimum weight" pack are advisable. The trail is an over grown, hard to follow shortcut to Lake Sundwon.
