    Tips

    October 26, 2025

    From the end of the old logging road, the trail slips quickly into dense forest, following faint flagging tape through moss-covered trees and uneven ground. The route narrows almost immediately, with a few eroded edges, fallen logs, and short drop-offs that require attention. Blue tape marks the first section clearly, but flagging becomes sparse deeper in, so it’s wise to keep note of landmarks for the return. The steady downhill leads toward the sound of the Koksilah River — your sign that the old-growth forest isn’t far ahead.
