Trail Description: Boulders Shelf Road Side Hill steep climb Views

The high difficulty level is due to the option to play in the small quarry at the east end of the trail. From there, it is a two mile climb through the trees on a narrow trail with occasional rocky sections and some off camber shelf. Turn left (west) at the top. Right away, you can turn right (north) and take a one mile spur up to the remains of a lookout on the top of the mountain.  After returning from the lookout, turn right (west) for an easy 4.7 miles to the west end of the trail.

Getting There:

From Kettle Falls to east end: From the junction of US 395 and US 20 just across the bridge west of Kettle Falls, take US 395 north for 5.9 miles. Turn left (west) on CR 460 (Deadman Creek Road). Reset your odometer here. At 0.6 miles, bear right. At 4.0 miles, bear left. At 6.4 miles, turn left over the bridge. At 7.0 miles, turn right (north) on FR 800. At 14.4 miles, bear left. At 15.0 miles, turn left on FR 820 then bear right on FR 822. At 15.8 miles you will enter a clearing with a gravel pile on your right and a small quarry on your left. The trail heads west along the far edge of the quarry.
From Kettle Falls to west end: From the junction of US 395 and US 20 just across the bridge west of Kettle Falls, take US 20 west for 18.4 miles. Turn right (north) on FR 2030 (Albian Hill Road) and go 4.8 miles. The obvious Twin Sisters trail goes northeast, while the less obvious Mack Mountain trail goes southeast from here.
From west end to east end via 2WD roads: After exiting the trail, turn left (south) on FR 2030 (Albian Hill Road) and go 1.1 miles. Turn left (east) on FR 9565 (Deadman Creek Road) and go 10.6 miles. Turn left (north) on FR 800 and follow the directions above.
