Trail Description: The parking area is located immediately after the third bridge on forest road 477 if you are coming from the end near the ranger station. Across the road from the parking area the trail starts- marked Pressley Cove. Do not take the trail that starts up the mountain immediately. Hike in the flat area parallel to the road until you reach the trees on the far side, that is where Pressley Cove turns up the mountain. 1.1 miles turn left on the logging road. Several old roads intersect; continue downhill and to the left at these intersections. When you reach the bottom on 477 turn left and follow this back to the parking area. |
