Getting There

Directions

From Sweet Home, Oregon, travel east on Highway 20 for 23.3 miles; turn left on Forest Road 2041 (Soda Fork). Stay on 2041 for 12 miles to spur road 646 and turn right.

The trailhead is at the end of the spur road.

You may also reach a mid-point in the trail by continuing down 2041 for an additional 3 miles to the road closure. Travel by foot 2 miles further along 2041 to the original trailhead. This route shortens the total hike by approximately 3 miles and bypasses the need to wade the Middle Santiam River and Pyramid Creek.
