About this place
This small parking area is located at end of the drivable road and provides access to Lightning Creek Trail 425 and Blue Buck Trail 421. The old trailhead is no longer accessible due to a washout by Volstead Creek. From Twisp, go east on SR 20 for 1.2 miles. Turn left to stay on SR 20 and go 2.9 miles. Turn left on Upper Beaver Creek Road and follow it for 6.2 miles (going straight through all intersections). Near the end, it becomes FR 4225-200. The trailhead parking for about 8 cars is at the berm/levee over the road (due to Volstead Creek washouts).
