About this place

This trailhead provides access to Chatter Creek Trail #1580 within the Alpine Lakes Wilderness. This trail is not recommended for horse travel. Hiking permits are self-issued and can be obtained at the trailhead. Note: To those planning to hike a loop out through Frosty Pass and Icicle Creek Trail - the bridge over French Creek 1.5 miles up Icicle Creek Trail #1551 was damaged in 2021 and not crossable. Access to French Creek Trail #1595, or beyond on Icicle Creek Trail #1551, is by fording the creek, when lower water levels allow. From Leavenworth, WA, head southwest on US-2 West for 0.8 mile. Turn left onto Icicle Road (Forest Road 7600), and follow for about 15 miles to the trailhead.
