Chetco Gorge Trailhead
The trail is on the other side of the Chetco Wild and Scenic River across from the old low water bridge site. From this location you must hike up river on the old road until it leads to a river access location. From there you must ford the river, picking the best low water route across, working your way back down river toward the bridge site on the other side. Walk uphill on the road a short way to the trailhead on the right. There is a bulletin board / registration booth in the parking area.
