This trail is mainly an OHV trail and is less traveled on foot.
The trail remains flat at first and parallels Highway 410 for about a half mile before it begins climbing with some switchbacks, followed by a section straight up in some soft dirt (due to the OHV use). The trail is completely shaded until you reach a rock viewpoint in about 1 mile. From here, you can see Old Scab Mountain and the Bumping River Valley in the distance.
The trail continues north through the trees for another 0.6 mile where it meets up with the West Quartz Creek Loop trail at 1.7 miles. Here, you can opt to follow the trail to the right or the left. Following the West Quartz Creek Loop trail through the trees for about a mile to the left (west), the trail opens up at a clearing. Here, Bumping Lake is to the south and Mount Rainier to the west.
