Bridge Creek Trail Description
Bridge Creek Trail is a 13.9mi hard trek. This point-to-point route is usually used by backpackers to link up with other trails, but part of this route can be hiked as an out and back adventure if you’re not backpacking.
Begin at the PCT trailhead off the highway. You’ll hike south alongside the highway initially before turning south. Roughly following the river valley, you’ll hike through the forest. Turn right at a three-way junction before Firewood Camps, hiking past several backcountry camps. There is a steep descent before the trail ends at the junction with Stehekin Valley Road.
