This trail turned out to be a nice Memorial Day getaway, since we escaped both the rain and the usual crowds (only 2 cars at the th, saw only one couple all day. The trail is only mentioned briefly in the back of 100 Hikes in the Alpine Lakes, and even then they describe it going the opposite way). The trail is snowfree and has been maintained-the access road is pretty pothole-y in the last couple miles but fine for any car. There are some flowers, but as I'm not good at identification all I can tell you is that there were lupine, paintbrush, arrowleaf balsamroot and a bunch of yellow types. To the trailhead: Take US 970 to the Teanaway River Road to the split just after the 29 Pines Campground. Take the left fork (Jungle Ck Road #9701). In a little over 4 miles there will be another unsigned split, go right to the trailhead. To hike to the viewpoint, go uphill, not downhill on the trail, which takes you to the middle fork Teanaway trail. The trail starts very steeply for a mile or so up an old road, rutted by motorcycles (though we saw none). It continues on a trail through the forest and at about 2 miles is a nice viewpoint. The trail continues to the junction of the Koppen Mt. and Jungle Creek trails.
