The length of this hiking trail is about average with an average amount of climbing distance which makes this a very tough wilderness hiking trail for advanced backcountry trekkers looking for an excellent challenge. This hiking trail goes through some very different elevations, and that means that some parts of the hiking trail could be very different from other parts of it. Shrew Creek Trail has two trailheads, so if you can get a ride | |

from someone, you can walk it just one way. Rather far from Wenatchee you come across Shrew Creek Trail, but what a good place for backpacking it is. We all need to get out in the outdoors once in a while, and Shrew Creek Trail in Okanogan County, Washington is just what you need.
Shrew Creek Trail is pretty waterless commonly; December is the month that gets the most snow while July is the month with the least amount of precipitation. Great outdoors trails like this one here in the Northern Cascade Range are a great way to explore these mountains. This
vicinity does get very dry sometimes, so make sure you check current conditions and fire restrictions with local forest authorities before you head out. And keep in mind that there could be temporary safety restrictions in spot. The time needed for this backcountry walk is roughly
7 hours, but you never know stuff could go wrong and you could get stuck so be prepared for that.
Briefly about the general area: It's a fine idea to explore North Granite Creek, it's right next door to Shrew Creek Trail; Shrew Creek Trail is a glorious location to visit
for more than one day, Loup Loup Campground is a glorious location to camp nearby. But wait, there's more fun stuff to do in the Northern Cascade Range. If you're here at Shrew Creek Trail, you could have a look at Little Granite Creek; you can stay the night at Salmon Meadows Campground.
