Upper South Fork Gold Creek Road

This trail has no wrong turns; which is easy since there are no turns. Upper South Fork Gold Creek is a lonely road, offering little more than some dispersed camping, and linking other trails in and out of the forest. But, having no turns to watch for over several miles makes this trail nice and easy, allowing you to enjoy being out in the wilderness. Many trails in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest have been ravaged by fires, and this area is no different. It’s hard to say which fire affected this trail, as so many have happened over the years, and they tend to overlap one another. Located 21 miles north-west of Chelan, Washington, and 10 miles west of Methow, Washington, this trail may not seem like much, but it helps join other trails into something much bigger, and if nothing else, a relaxing drive by itself. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route. Visit Overlanding Across Washington for more information, including which trails to take next.
