About This Trail
The trail goes along the Middlefork Nooksack between the trailhead for Elbow Lake and the forest service road. The road may be closed from Nov 1 to Jul 1 to protect wildlife. The trail to the left before the Ridley Creek trail is no longer maintained. The trail continues up through 1100 ft of elevation and up to a summit that should provide good views of Baker and the surrounding mountains.
