Follow this road for approximately 7 miles to Challenge cabin.  Continue on past cabin about 1 mile and turn right at road marked Granite creek Trail.  Take this road a little more than 1 mile to the trailhead.
• Facilities: There is plenty of parking; BCH feed bunks and water from the creek.
• Description: A weekend of fairly easy packing, taking hay & feed into two forest service cabins.  Saturday morning we will meet at the Granite Creek trailhead.
• Please note:  Saturday we will pack hay to Granite Cabin, which is located on the Middle Fork River.  It is 6.4-mile trip each way with one creek crossing.  Overall, it is an easy and quite scenic trail.  Saturday night we will camp at the Granite Creek trailhead and on Sunday, we will go to Nimrod trailhead (where Bear Creek and the Middle fork river meet), which is at mile marker 148.8 on HWY 2, (about 11 miles downhill on Hwy 2 from Skyland Road). We will pack hay into Spruce Park, which is 5.4 miles each way.  There is a pack bridge by the Hwy which crosses Bear Creek .The trail is a well-maintained and quite safe.
