Trail Information
The trail begins on Trail #132 at Berry Camp, a small primitive campsite in the northern portion of the Wilderness, at the intersection with Trail #158. Dropping 400 feet in approximately 1 mile, the Big Hollow Trail #158 meets a fork of Hollow Creek that should be forded with care. Continuing downhill 2 miles, the trail intersects Trail #194. In June, a 2-foot water crossing through Big Hollow Creek provides a challenge for trail visitors, with a swift current, so proceed with caution! After the water crossing, the trail terminates in about 1/2 mile on Forest Road 64.
Directions
Access for the Big Hollow Trail is via the Observation Trail #132.
