Grider Creek Trailhead
The Grider Creek Trailhead at the south end of the campground is where the Pacific Crest Trail comes out of the Marble Mountain Wilderness. The trail goes up Grider Creek (south) for approximately 12 miles through old growth forest and eventually crosses the Kelsey National Recreation Trail.
