Map + Directions
Basic Directions
Follow the directions given for the Caples Creek trail to where it intersects the Old Silver Lake Trail at Jake Schneider's Meadow. After crossing Caples Creek (use caution - no bridge), one can hike through mixed stands of virgin pine and fir. Switchbacks ascend the ridge top to where the trail meets the Silver Fork Trail coming in from the southwest.
