The Breitenbush Lake Campground TH cuts the hiking mileage in half, but the road is one of the most problematic in the state and not recommended without a 4WD if at all, and so the route is not mentioned here. See Pacific Crest Trail to Park Ridge Summit (hike 66) for a much better but also difficult drive to the same TH area. Listed here is the easiest of the drives, with the best views throughout on the fairly simple and straightforward hike. Northwest Forest Pass required, and an outhouse is present.
