Description
The Snowgrass Trail begins at the Berry Patch Trailhead and can also be accessed from the Snowgrass Runners Trailhead. The trail heads northeast through a lush conifer forest. After crossing Goat Creek at 2.25 miles, the trail switchbacks through talus and timber to the junction with
Bypass Trail #97. The trail continues to climb steeply to the junction with the Pacific Crest Trail, ending in the Snowgrass Flats area.
Snowgrass Flats is a 10-plus acre subalpine meadow located in a bowl near the headwaters of Snowgrass Creek. The area was originally named for a type of plant that stockmen called snowgrass.
