#847 Cataract Creek Trailhead

Cataract Creek Trail #847 starts at the Vermilion River and follows the Cataract Creek drainage ending at Seven Point Mountain.

The trail crosses the Vermilion River at the trailhead.  This crossing is challenging for most of the year.  In addition the trail crosses Cataract Creek twice and multiple side drainages in the upper basin below Seven Point Mountain. These crossings are usually easy to negotiate.
