Union Creek Trailhead and Sno-Park
This trailhead provides access to Union Creek Trail #956 which leads to Union Creek Falls before climbing steeply into alpine terrain to intersect the Pacific Crest Trail at Crown Point within Norse Peak Wilderness. The popular #999 Trail is great for horseback riding.
In winter, this trailhead becomes a Sno-Park that offers eight parking spaces and access to cross-country ski trails.
