A great option for a day hike, Chatter Creek connects up with the popular Icicle Ridge Trail, which allows for even further wandering.
The Chatter Creek Trail is steep, brushy, and rocky in places. Begin at the Chatter Creek trailhead, and climb up slopes that alternate between forested and rocky terrain.
There are several campsites along the trail for the first four miles, until the thick trees open up to a large bowl. Then the trail becomes steeper and rockier as it switchbacks up for the last two miles, offering wonderful views of the bowl and the valley below.
At the top of the ridge, the terrain becomes more forested again, and the trail ends at Icicle Ridge Trail #1570.
