Description
This trail begins on Road 2150.040 at the "Berry Patch" trailhead. The trail heads northeast through a conifer forest until crossing Goat Creek. It continues up switchbacks, through talus and timber, to a junction with Bypass Trail No. 97 (at mile 4). Snowgrass Trail No. 96 continues to intersect with Lily Basin Trail No. 86 and ends on the Pacific Crest Trail.
This trail is part of the Klickitat Trail system used by Native Americans traveling over Cispus Pass to the Klickitat River drainage. Snowgrass Flats is a 10-plus acre subalpine meadow in a bowl near the headwaters of Snowgrass Creek. The area was named for a type of plant that stockmen called snowgrass.
