is a splendid idea. Middle Fork Trail has a total elevation difference of 3,118 feet, and that is higher than average. This is a long backcountry hiking trail, so do pack enough food to last the whole trip. There are two trailheads to chose from, one in each end which means you
have the option of backcountry hiking it one way if you have someone to pick you up at the other end. Different parts of Middle Fork Trail are at very different elevations which of course means you need to be prepared for different conditions on different parts of the backpacking

And
if that's not enough there's a heap more enjoyable stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. A good spot like Mathew Meadow here at Middle Fork Trail is too wonderful to miss, and hey, Alder Creek is a fine local stream. Now, you may believe that's a load but there's even more
entertaining stuff to do here in the Northern Cascade Range. A visit to Middle Fork Trail wouldn't be complete without taking a look at Union Creek Falls.
You'll need more than a day to look at everything Middle Fork Trail has to offer, you can camp at Pleasant Valley Campground,
and Green Pass is also a delightful site to discover. The trees of Naches Ranger District are a magnificent source of shade on hot summer days; in the event that you don’t have a problem getting soaked, you can always go whitewater paddling on American River. Just can't get enough
of Middle Fork Trail. Middle Fork Trail is a delightful location to visit for more than one day, Hells Crossing Campground is a delightful location to camp nearby, and Timothy Meadow is right here at Middle Fork Trail.
American River is a good whitewater spot near Middle Fork Trail, and why not a little side journey to County Creek.
