Sulphur Creek Trail #793
The trail begins directly across from the Sulphur Creek Campground. It starts with an initial steep climb through mixed forest winding in and out high above the creek. Eventually the trail drops down to the creek offering some views where the creek forms pools and small waterfalls.
At one time this trail was much longer and in the 1930s maps shows it as an eight mile trail. Today the trail becomes obscure at about 1 mile. There is still some boot path and some flagging. At about 1 mile, there is a Y in the trail, to the left is the bushwhack trail up to the warm springs, a small pool with very small capacity. To the right, is the existing hiking trail, which eventually fades out.
