From Quilcene, WA travel north for 2 miles and turn left onto Lords Lake Road. At the lake stay left, and follow Forest Service Road 28 over Bon Jon Pass to the junction with Forest Service Road 2820. Follow Forest Road 2820 for 4 miles to the trailhead.
This is not an easy ride. All the information says that it is just a 1100ft elevation gain, sure from trail head to trail head.. All said and done its closer to 1800 ft. in 6.2 miles.
You start with an easy rolly polly drop down to the river, about 2.5 miles. then the next almost four miles you spend climbing back out. Most of it is an easy climb, but you do run into some roots, rocks and steep climbs.
this is a great in and out trail and the climb more then worth the ride back. Fast, fun, and super smooth. Some small technical sections with roots and small rocks.
Trail is maintained really well. Shaded the whole way.
