Description

This lollipop loop starts at the Porcupine Creek Trailhead. Through the valley it follows doubletrack and braided narrow trails. There are numerous social and horse trails to your left, before USFS signs point left and uphill towards Hidden Lakes and First Creek.

Climb the occasionally rutted singletrack until the first creek crossing, then head right and down to the next junction above the second creek. Turn right and downhill along a smooth trail back to Porcupine Creek. There's one last steep climb to complete the lollipop, and return to the trailhead.
