Hoyt Trail #1347
The Hoyt Trail begins at Forest Road 3300-211 and ends at Divide Trail #4W311.
After crossing South Fork Taneum Creek, the trail winds through an old mining camp and then begins a steep ascent up a forested spur ridge for approximately 3 miles. The trail passes through several clearings as well as along the edges of a couple of logging units. For the next 1.5 miles, the trail goes through a fairly level area of meadows and trees where it is difficult to find in spots. At the 4.5 mile point, the trail crosses FS Road 3120 and continues for almost 0.5 mile to the junction with 4W311, where trail users can head either west on jeep trail or continue south, which is also a continuation of trail 1347. The trail climbs more steeply to a mountaintop and then descends for 2.5 miles to its southern terminus at FS Road 3100.
