Fox Creek Ridge Trail #5581

Overview

This is a very utilitarian trail that offers few views and no access to the creek. It is most popular with hunters or people wanting to fish the lakes. It starts at the Fox Creek Ridge Trailhead on Forest Road 40N17 and climbs steadily (but never steeply) up the ridge for about 1.2 miles. <br><br>It then drops slightly off the ridge and continues climbing steadily to a junction with the Mavis Lake Trail #5579, at about 2.8 miles from the trailhead. Up to this point the trail is well used, easy to follow, and has no obstacles. However, above its junction with the #5579, its quality deteriorates somewhat, with more rocky sections and more fallen trees. After one switchback and a rising climb, it ends at a junction with the Pacific Crest Trail on the crest of the Scott Mountains.
