This trail begins at mile post 1.7 on Forest Road 44. The trail follows road 44 for 4.8 miles to the end of the road. Carlton Creek must be forded at two locations within this stretch. Off Highway vehicles are prohibited on this system. The trail then advances through dense oldgrowth forest until ending at the junction with the PCT. Sections of this trail have drainage problems which make horse travel difficult. Pack and saddle users are encouraged to use other access trails. Be prepared to cross muddy stretches and several small streams.

Carlton Pass was named for William H. Carlton who led a Northern Pacific Railroad survey crew through the pass in 1867. Look for blazed trees along the trail, which marked a crossmountain route surveyed in 1905.
