The Tripod Flat Trail is a very typical northwest trail in that it winds it's way through conifer forest littered with lots of roots, rocks and tight turns that is best suited to short wheel base vehicles. At about the half way point in the trail is Tripod Flat, hence the name. This meadow is used in the fall by hunters and it is not unusual to see large wall tents here set up for camp.
The worst section of this trail is to the west side of Tripod Flat. To the east of Tripod flat, while there is some challenging areas the trail does get a little easier, and has some very nice views.
Access to the Shoestring trail (4W308) is from the Tripod Flat Trail approximately .4 miles east of Tripod Flat.
As sunlight was fading when we ran this trail I was not able to get too many pictures. We will return though and I will update this page at that time with more information and pictures. |
