    Lovely 6 mile loop. Conditions are great, trail is clear. Some packed snow in parts, easy enough to navigate through with regular light hiking shoes...

    An amazing hike! This loop trail is 4.5 miles long and well maintained with lots of bridges and waterfalls. I would consider this a moderate trail with a faster elevation gain going clockwise.

    This is a beautiful wooded hike with several bridges that cross several different creeks. Look for the “troll” under one of the bridges. Also lots of fun mushrooms.

    This is a surprisingly nice little hike. The rushing creeks and small waterfalls at the top of the hike are the highlight.

Big Creek Loop in June 2020
This was a great trail. I would consider it moderate because of the accent, but if you take your time it is pretty easy. We took multiple breaks and had a snack at the half way mark. The trail is very well maintained and lots of amenities at the camp. Dog and kid friendly.

Big creek loop
It was a very rainy day. Bring extra base layers. Bring a better rain shell. And a fleece!
