Scatchard Mountain Switchbacks Description

Hiking the Scatchard Mountain Switchbacks is a fun adventure in the North Thompson Valley that will provide some amazing views looking out onto the valley and surrounding mountains for little effort. Setting out from the roadside trailhead, follow the wide rocky path as it begins to climb uphill to the southwest. As the switchbacks are fairly wide, the trail follows a gentle uphill slope that will make it an enjoyable trek for hikers of all skill levels. Continue heading uphill through the forest and enjoy the scenic views of the surrounding landscape, until you reach the top of the trail near Chase Creek. Take in the beautiful views of the town nestled snugly along the valley floor before descending along the same route to return to the trailhead.
