Murdock Road

Murdock Road is an exciting trail with an abundance of views. The trail begins in Murdock Gulch, located 15 miles west of Chelan, Washington, in the Okanogan-Wenatchee National Forest. As it climbs, the route weaves around the surrounding hills, with amazing views around every corner. Rather than being a lush, flowing forest, this area is thinly treed with lots of brush, making for sharper and more distinct textures when looking at the valleys below. It’s a fun ridgeline drive that’s definitely worth a visit, and sure to leave a lasting memory from your time in the forest. This trail is part of the Washington Cascade Overland Route.
