We loved the hike thru the woods and the beautiful landscape. The clear water and the waterfalls and then to come out to an opening where the sun shines down to have a wonderful picnic lunch and then continue or a hike to Historic Flats

I started my hike about 12pm. It was hot and humid. I'm disabled and this place has NO accommodations for disabled people. I'll be contacting the ADA. It's not right that physically disabled persons cannot enjoy this hike. It's on very good roads. There is a gate at the trail head. There is No way around the gate for a wheel chair or rest areas. I tried very hard to hike up there. But I was hurting so bad and collapse many times on my way back and that was only about half mile. I needed to have access fo for my wheel chair or a walker. There is no running water only water out of the rivers. So take a water filter.
Late season hike Dec 15, no fees, no traffic, no rain, just a nice little 6 mile round trip. Only 4 souls were still here and the Mayor, a cat. Cabin rental and General Store during season, solar power, hydro power and fresh mountain water. Old buildings and relics of days past. Dedicated to Megan Amanda Manson 10/21/98-12/16/2019
Came here on 12/7/18 roads were icy on the route alltrails takes you on Google maps. Dirt road coming in seemed a lot worse (pit hole riddled) than leaving. There are two vaulted toilet stalls here and they were clean. You can rent cabins at jawbone flats. If you want to do the loop I would make a right at the trailhead for the pools when you first come across the bridge it will be easier to follow if you don't have a preloaded map. This place is a must see the road is easy and opal pools trail is moderate to hard. This trail is 9.9 miles and we finished it in 5.5hrs. In jawbone flats the bathroom is closed for the winter. You can rent cabins in jawbone flats and if you are handicap, you can drive in if you are renting a cabin. Cabin prices are fairly expensive over 100. Jawbone flats is privately owned and surrounded by national forrest. You need a northwest forrest pass to park here or an American the beautiful or day pass. I believe 5/visit/day. We were the first ones on the trail and when we left there were 3 or 4 other cars in the lot on a Friday. There is ice on the trail this time of year in the early mornings so use caution. No drinkable water here if you are doing a day trip here, so make sure you bring plenty of water or have a filtration system. There are people that live here all year long. This place is off the grid and no immediate way to get there, you must hike in and out. Depending on your speed, you're looking at, at least 5hrs. This trail is 9.9 miles. We arrived early in the morning and didn't see any other hikers until we were hiking out.
One of the best hiking places. Natural beauty and amazing water. Jawbone Flats is a walk through history with all the discarded items. All heaters, automobiles and much more.
