About this Location

All land from I-84 to the top of the pass is private. Bluebird boxes will appear on the fence posts as you ascend the pass. Once at the top of the pass, land is public. Drop down along Wood Creek. While the trailheads and trails provide only moderate birding opportunities, riparian zones between the trailheads are good for nesting warblers.
