Jens Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 I've driven up the middle fork road for other things but I've never seen this trailhead. Can anyone give me specific directions on how to find it? I'm thinking about taking my daughter up there. thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodchester Posted August 26, 2004 Share Posted August 26, 2004 This is NOT a fun or beautiful peak experience. It has little if any worth while views and the trail is steep and not fun. Granted it is a GREAT work out peak, but that is all that it is. Have fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEF Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 The Mailbox TH is at the point where the pavement ends and gravel/hardpack begins. You will find a large pullout on the left, and where a gated spur road with some added parking space is on the right. The hike up the road and location of the trail is adequately described. I've done the trail many times and it does make for a good cardio work out. Other good workouts can be found on Si (old trail), Tennerife, McClellan or Granite. At least those are my favorites. I usually reserve Si only for when the weather is really bad or it is too crowded for my tastes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catbirdseat Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 Could you do us all a favor? The trailhead is SUPPOSED to be marked by a toothbrush. Some rascal swiped it (he probably had his girlfriend along and had forgotten to brush that morning). Please replace the toothbrush. I think it was a Crest brand. The toothbrush should be lashed to a tree on the left where the trail leaves the logging road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattp Posted August 27, 2004 Share Posted August 27, 2004 A block of wood with an arrow on it might work better. We had similar problems with our hubcap trail markers in Darrington. Somebody kept thinking they looked trashy and they would diappear almost as fast as we could collect them along the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
