Description

The Thain Creek Trail starts at the end of the campground road and heads east towards the Windy Mountain trail. The grade is rolling and mellow until it hits the Briggs Creek intersection.

Afterward, the trail climbs steeply, followed by a fast descent to the intersection with the Center Ridge trail and the North Fork Highwood Creek trail.
