Wildcat North Trailhead
This trailhead is located slightly uphill from Whistler Campground and provides access to Wildcat Trail (#833) in the northeastern region of Mill Creek Wilderness.
The parking area is rather large and can accommodate most vehicles, however the roads to access this trailhead can be quite rough so four wheel drive is a must.
