Route Description for Whitehorse Bluff Trail
Hiking the Whitehorse Bluff Trail is a fun adventure in the forest that will take you up to one of the best viewpoints overlooking the coursing waters of the Clearwater River. The route sets out from the parking area and enters into the thick cover of the forest canopy that will dominate the majority of the hike. Although the dense tree cover offers some nice protection from the sun, it also welcomes bugs, so make sure to bring some repellent along for your hike. Continue along the trail as it gradually climbs uphill before steepening on the final approach to the series of viewpoints overlooking the valley. Carefully make your way along the rocky bluff for a bird’s eye view of the Clearwater River cutting through the lush valley to the northwest. After taking in the views and exploring this elevated part of the landscape, head back along the same trail to return to the parking area.
