This short and easy trail is well suited for stock Jeeps and SUVs.  CJR's Hidout trail runs from FS1701 on the south end to join 4W695 (Mid Summit Trail) on the north end.  If you do not wish to take on the increased difficulty of the Mid Summit Trail then you best turn around and retrace your steps at this point.  The views from this trail are incredible, affording views of the Ellensburg Valley, Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams. If you are looking for a bit more challenge the Mid Summit Trail makes a good loop when combined with the Bald Mountain Trail.  Although not a difficult trail this is one of our favorites on a clear day for the views.

         

 

Getting There:

6.5 miles east of Cliffdell on Hwy. 410, turn northeast on FS 1702. After 3.77 miles on FS1702 turn right on FS1720. Follow FS1720 8.94 miles to FS1701. Turn left on FS1701 and proceed another 2.4 miles, turn left on FS530 and follow it up hill. Once you get up to the top of Bald Mountain the trail will get smaller but not much harder.
