Hoodoo Trail #3244


Area Status: Open

Hoodoo Trail is an access route to the Wenaha River area where hiking and fishing opportunities abound.  The trail begins at the Hoodoo Trailhead and travels north into Wenaha-Tucannon Wilderness to meet the Wenaha River Trail #3106 on the Wild and Scenic Wenaha River. It is maintained for foot and horse traffic only, and is characterized by many switchbacks, which aid the steady descent of elevation from Hoodoo to the Wenaha River.

Viewpoints along the trail offer terrific sights of the Wenaha drainage. The lower sections of the trail may have rattlesnakes, so caution is advised.

Practice Leave-No-Trace camping ethics. Pack all garbage out.
