Overview

Not difficult but definitely not easy, Tripod Flats is a medium difficulty trail in the middle of the widely used OHV area, Little Naches, and it makes for a good shortcut from the north side into the uber popular Funny Rocks and Moon Rocks area. This trail is also the only way into Lost Lake, an absolute must-do trail. Aside from the dusty conditions most of the summer, there are several areas that will be challenging in wet weather. Tripod Flats Trail is very scenic and has several open areas in which to camp, a perfect overland style of trail.
