Nice pictures from a quiet part of the I-90 corridor! There's a fun and direct alternative route to Greenway that follows the NE ridge (yellow line on the map below). Midway along the ridge you pass a big rock formation I call "Cheops".

Parking is at Exit 38 Olallie State Park and the trail starts at a gate across the road. The only real unavoidable brush was a 1/4 mile section of the Hall Creek Trail, where the many fallen trees made the trail unnavigable for a bit.

I didn't know you hiked! Looks like a nice winter option, although the map shows the area around 4370 within the cedar river watershed.

The map app I was using at the time doesn't show the CRW boundaries. So the first notice I had was the remains of an old plastic document holder stapled to a tree at the top of Point 4370, which I recognized as a boundary marker. I stayed to the good side of that.

I got lost two weeks ago descending that trail just after crossing the creek. I hiked the Change Creek Trail to Songbird Peak and then Greenway. It was my first time in that area other than Mt. Washington. I was really impressed with it. Looking forward to further explorations.

Catsp, were you aware that Zig-Zag, Hall Creek, Change Creek and Machu Pichu Trails are un-official, un-endorsed, built by rogue trail builders and maintained by users?

I really enjoy whitebark's trip reports, and I think you're absolutely right, he clearly has much more knowledge of those trails and area in general. I saw your trip report and was curious if you were aware. You must have recognized my dog from WTA. I hope you truly don't mind me junking up your thread. I doubt that anyone else does.
