Be aware at about 10.2 miles the right turn onto Hamlet road does not exist anymore due to having been logged. I followed GPS and hiked down what was left of the road but it was blocked off with bebris piles and was quite difficult. After crossing the Nehelam river at the bottom of the hill, the road/trail is severely overgrown. I finally popped out in someone's back yard behind a locked gate and no trespassing signs. I won't be doing this route again :-(

Not 100 % gravel. We did it counter clockwise from 26 and it was pretty sweet until the last 7 miles or so. The route is totally demolished and we had to hike/ bush wack. Would be best to do as an out and back along north fork river.
