Features Commonly Backpacked

This trail enters the Badger Creek Wilderness, so the usual federal wilderness area regulations and restrictions apply here. Practice Leave No Trace (LNT) backcountry skills and ethics. Camp 100 feet from fragile areas; bury human waste at least 200 feet from water, trails, and campsites. This trail is usually snowed in between November and May.

Description

The short Camp Windy Trail #685B connects the Gunsight Trail #685 with the Badger Creek Trail #479. It is useful for making loop hikes, but it is neither well-travelled nor well-maintained. Signage is very limited.

From its lower end on Forest Road 4860 at the junction with the Badger Creek Trail #479, the #685B climbs gradually west into the Badger Creek Wilderness for 0.8 miles to Bennett Pass Road (Forest Road 3550). Cross the road and continue 0.2 miles to the end of the trail at Gunsight Trail #685.
