Bedal Creek Trail 705

Climb steadily through thick, old forest and enter the Henry M. Jackson Wilderness. The forest is punctuated by avalanche chutes before opening into the meadow basin below the steep slopes and cliffs of Bedal and Sloan Peaks. The trail becomes more obscure toward the end and gradually disappears before the Harry Bedal’s historic trapping cabin.
