This is a multi-use trail. Popular with OHV users and Mountain Bikers.
The trail climbs out of the Lewis River Valley through a mature forest and intersects with Cussed Hollow Trail #19 about a mile from the trailhead. Continue on and cross the headwater of Copper Creek is via a bridge with a campsite nearby. A short distance upslope, the trail passes into a young tree plantation. You will pass through another plantation before crossing Forest Road 93.

Cross Forest Road 93 and travel one mile to the intersection of Forest Road 9327- ­040 and Forest Road 9327. This is also the beginning of Craggy Peak Trail #3. Further along the trail travels along Wright Meadow where elk can often be seen grazing.

The trail crosses Forest Road 9327 again before starting its descent to Clear Creek. A ford allows you to cross Clear Creek before ascending to a bench. The trail then drops to Elk Creek before climbing to Forest Road 2259-101.
