This 8.6 mile trail within Buckhorn Wilderness travels through conifer forest to a historic mine site. Remnants of historic Tubal Cain copper and manganese mine are visible on this trail. You can take a side spur trail up the Tull Canyon Trail to the site of a 1952 B-17 crash site. Continuing on the original trail cross a creek and switchback up alpine meadows to Buckhorn Lake. Continue past the lake, to Marmot Pass for ridge line views and mountain scenery.

At Marmot Pass there are junctions with Upper Dungeness Trail #833.2 and Upper Big Quilcene Trail #833.
