Huckleberry Creek Trail leaves Road 7340, an old spur road, in second-growth timber. Quickly, it becomes an established trail; after 0.1 mile, it crosses Lost Creek on a footlog and enters old-growth timber.
The trail follows Huckleberry Creek to the boundary with Mount Rainier National Park at mile 0.9. Here is a nice stopping point for families, or you can continue your hike into the national park on the Lake James trail. Remember that if you're hiking with pups, you'll need to turn around at the park boundary, since dogs are not allowed in the national park.
From the park boundary, the trail continues for another 7.5 miles, following Huckleberry Creek up the valley into a mountain basin before climbing to the trail's end at Sourdough Ridge. From here, it's a quick jaunt to the Sunrise Visitor Center, which can act as an alternate access point to the Huckleberry Creek Trail.
