This trail begins by following the Schoolhouse Mountain falls trail to the west falls. At the point where the west falls trail heads up hill the loop trail veers westward slighty downhil to a ford crossing of the creek. If the water is too high this crossing may be difficult and you may need to return the way you came.
Beyond the creek, the trail follows an old logging road. The mixed deciduous and coniferous forest here is second growth. This road carries on to the pit that was used to quarry granite for the highway and the bridge across Nooklikonnik Creek. Stop here for a fabuous view of Mount Saugstad to the south or during late juy and eary august stop here to watch the Chum or Dog salmon spawning. The rest of the loop is along the highway back to the school. Walk well off the road, facing traffic.
How to get there
Access is the same as for the Schoolhouse Mountain Falls trails.
