Silver Star Mountain & Ed's Trail Loop

Silver Star is simply a must-do hike for adventure lovers here in the Northwest!

From the parking area, take the main trail up to the first open meadow. Eds Trail splits off here, meeting back up just before the summit. Be warned, Eds Trail is much steeper in sections and is more difficult than the standard trail, although it offers amazing views and adds some challenge and excitement.

Much of the trail is at a high elevation, passing through open meadows with little shade. When you reach the top, there are two summits with amazing views all around – the northern peak is the true summit.

Bring a truck or standard SUV for the drive up. You don't need a 4x4, but something with better ground clearance than a standard car will save you from tearing up the bottom of your rig, as the last mile or so are very rough.
