Standup Trail #1369
The Standup Trail begins at Forest Road 9203-112 and ends at Stafford Creek Trail #1359.

It then begins to climb steeply with many switchbacks, over a divide at 6200 feet, then drops to join Stafford Creek Trail 1359. The trail is in fair condition with little erosion. There are a few minor creek crossings, and a spring is close to the trail near the top of the divide.
SETTING: Valley bottom, stream, old-growth trees, old logging, ridgetops, open hillsides, meadows, riparian zone, subalpine zone.
