Siouxon Trail

Sunday, June 14, 2020

Difficulty: Medium

Tier: 3

At the trailhead, there is immediately a fork in the trail. The trail to the right, we imagine, is popular, leads to the falls, and follows a creek. We hiked about a half mile of this portion after we already hiked for a few hours to the left. The left trail leads to a road, so we turned around. It seems relatively flat, but most of the elevation is at the end. It was muddy and had many bridges. There was one portion of walking through the creek where you had to scramble across rocks. It was very quiet and the tree coverage was beautiful. Our assumption is that the popular hike is to the right. If you don’t need the most scenic hike, it’s worth it to enjoy the serenity of the forest.

The road was winding and really rough for over 7 miles to the trailhead. We had to take it very slow even in our Subaru. A car with good clearance is very much necessary to get to the trailhead.
