  • Description:
    • Trout Creek is located approximately 15 miles east of Sandpoint (ID) on Highway 200.  The trailhead is 7.8 miles up Trout Creek Road on the right.  I don't have a whole lot to say about this particular hike.  It didn't have much to offer in terms of views or scenery.
    • Part of the negotiations to get the Seven Devils hike approved was no hiking the weekend prior to or after the that hike.  It took a little convincing, but since it was a relatively short hike close to Sandpoint (ID), I got to go.
    • It was a fairly steep hike following a creek up the draw.  It had several switchbacks until the last quarter mile where it seemed to take off straight up the side of the mountain.  There were several trees down across the path which led me to believe that it doesn't get a whole lot of use.  I saw three more moose on the way to the trailhead in the Pack River Flats, a cow and two calves.
