This 3.9 mile, one way trail is one of several options to access the summit of Abercrombie Mountain. The Flume Creek Trail is primarily on the east side of the mountain, which affords you fantastic views of the Selkirk Mountains and the Salmo-Priest Wilderness as you climb. The trail is also part of the Pacific Northwest Scenic Trail, so you may see through-hikers. The tread itself is rocky, and you’ll hike a steady uphill grade. Dispersed campsites are located along the trail, remember to Pack It In, Pack It Out.  

Be aware that the forest service road to access the trailhead is rough, and requires a high-clearance vehicle.
