Bluff

Bluff Road is a well-graded gravel route that climbs steadily through dense forest before ending at the Bluff Lake Trailhead. As the elevation increases, breaks in the canopy reveal sweeping views of the valleys below, offering a peaceful and scenic drive. Along the way, bursts of seasonal color appear where deciduous trees mingle with evergreens, adding a rare contrast for this part of the “Evergreen State.” The road’s smooth surface and gentle grades make it an enjoyable route for most vehicles, with plenty of quiet pullouts for taking in the forest scenery.

No existing campsite can be found along this route, but several nearby roads offer camping options. One campsite is located along the main Bluff route, another near the Purcell and Bluff intersection, and three additional spots close to the junction with Purcell Creek Road #4610.
