Clear Lake via Blue Box Trail Hike

Overview

If there is one feature that encapsulates the spirit of the Blue Box Trail, it is old growth. Most of the trail is through old growth forest, with some substantial noble firs and Douglas-firs on the up slope and crest and then more massive Doug-firs and western hemlocks down towards Clear Lake . The trail passes through a couple of old clearcuts and close to other clearcuts, but does an admirable job of keeping you mostly in unlogged forest. October 2024: Please note that the route has not been logged out for several years, so there are many fairly large trees to scramble over, and there may be spots where it is difficult to relocate the trail tread.
