Additional Details:
Limited parking at Trailhead. Trail ascends steeply for for more than 1 mile to top of Patterson Mountain.
Trail intersects with three other trails – Tucker, Helms, and Elmore – which descend to FS 184. Plenty of parking at each of these Trailheads. Tricky creek crossings on Helms and Elmore trails in wet weather.
