About this place

The North Fork Granite Creek winds through stands of towering ancient western red cedar trees. Some of these towering giants date back 2,000 to 3,000 years. Two trails are maintained from the trailhead. An easily hiked trail of 365 feet runs along the creek bringing hikers to a viewpoint of the Lower Granite Creek Falls cascading over a sheer rock wall. There is a one mile loop trail of moderate difficulty that leads up the old road for 200 feet above the trailhead. This longer trail will bring you through ancient western red cedars and after a series of switchbacks will bring you to views of the Upper Granite Creek Falls and the Lower Granite Creek Falls. Hiking is permitted among the old growth trees. From Priest Lake Ranger District travel 4 miles north to Nordman, then 14 miles north of Nordman on FS Road 302.
