Hiking
Beginner: Icicle Gorge Trail: this trail is one of the few flat trails in the Icicle Creek valley. The trail runs in a loop, up one side of Icicle Creek and down the other, so you hike alongside the river most of the way. The trailhead is about 30 minutes up Icicle Rd from the Hideaway. The road turns to gravel part way and there are numerous spur roads that leave the main road, so make sure to have good directions before you head out. (No cell service up there!)
