Experience a diversity of vegetation—from dry, open slopes to creeks and cedar forests—and views of jagged Agnes Peak. The trail gently rolls up and down through varied forest terrain with occasional gorge views and features a wide selection of wildflowers in early and mid-summer. The trail begins in the national park and continues into the Glacier Peak Wilderness in Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest.

At the end of the trail, Agnes Creek cascades 200 feet (60 m) through a narrow gorge. There was once a suspension bridge over the gorge and there are a few remnant metal components on the forest floor, as well as the concrete abutments that anchored the bridge. Parts of the trail can be wet and muddy in spring and early summer. Look for waterfalls across the gorge in spring and early summer.
