About this trail

Sam's River Loop is a level day hike through different ages and stages of temperate rain forest, but winter storms often damage this trail, so you may have to scramble over fallen trees and other obstacles!

How it’s scored

Hikers can rate difficulty from 1 to 10 (1 = flat, short, easy walk for anyone; 3 = gentle hills, a little effort; 5 = moderate climbs, some fitness needed; 7 = steep or long, solid fitness required; 10 = extremely strenuous or technical; long steep climbing; experienced hikers only). The community average is shown once at least 3 people have rated the trail; until then the official or computed score is used when we have one.
