Rim Trail #72

Great access to the trail.

The trail, marked with blue blazes, has several access roads and trails. Camping offered at Huskins Branch Hunter and Bristol Horse Camps. Dispersed camping sites are along Forest Service Road 340.

Two picnic areas are near the Rim Trail. Fires Creek Picnic  Area offers 10 tables and a restroom. Other trails in the Fires Creek area are Chunky Gal and Bald Springs.

Along Rim Trail are rhododendron and spring wildflowers, such as trillium, lady slipper, and Solomon's seal. Grouse, warblers, deer, bear, Russian boar and hawks roam the area. Camping is not allowed in the marked wildlife openings and off-road vehicle use is prohibited.

I go there a lot , folk's is throwing trash down the bank . Please Don't Litter..

Beautiful area but trails are poorly marked and easy to get confused on way to go to get back to picnic area.

This looks like a great trail system , but just a caution that it’s not well marked all the way through, so take care and go with a group. The first stream crossing can be a little tricky if you’re not used to crossing with no footpath. I will definitely come back, just nota as a solo hiker. Some parts are over grown and I only saw one other hiker.
