Trailhead: Osborne Mountain

Hiked it yesterday and today 6/25-26/21, 6 miles from Big Creek CC to Bertha May and 6 miles back. Still some snow left 1.7 miles from BM to the lake (where the trail meets the road which wrongly says 3 miles to BM Lakes) but enough trees down that I needed my GPS and/or sat map to find the disappearing trail. Prepare, as bugs (bites) and flowers (allergies) are getting more prevalent. Nettles are crowding the trail by Big Creek. Also, the stream 3.5 miles up is nearly dried up.

Peaceful

Nice and dog friendly hike. It has a soft slope so it's not so complicated to walk by. We have walked for about 2 hours and come back cause of the weather

Need a National Forest Parking pass to park in one of the 5 or 6 spots here within Big Creek National Forest Campground. See USGS map of this trail.

Gate to parking lot was closed, waist high snow 3/4 up the trail

Nice trail but to the neighbor who lives on Jerry Road - you’re a psycho. You put barbed wire fence within a few feet of a public camp site and trail and about ripped my dogs face off. Beware - there is a psycho living near by!! Not to mention all of the no trespassing signs. Way to go overboard. I hope you rot in your little hut and enjoy that property of yours.
