Nine Mile Road is a scenic gravel road that winds through a thick pine forest, leading you to stunning campsites, breathtaking viewpoints, and the start of the Cold Springs Trailhead. It's a smooth, quick drive on a well-maintained gravel path, wide enough for easy passing in each direction without the need for special pullouts. With multiple trailheads and hidden campsites tucked along the way, every mile invites you to pull over, explore, and soak up the incredible wilderness that awaits.
Nine Mile Road encompasses a portion of section 6 (Conconully to Canada Border) and the entirety of the section 6 extension (Cold Springs Viewpoint) of the Washington Backcountry Discovery Route (WABDR), a scenic 575-mile mostly offroad route from the Oregon state line to the Canadian border.
