We started on the west side and first drove past the trail parking lot. The road takes a slight turn right and there is a trail on the left with a picture of a person walking a dog - the lot is just after that also on the left with a honey bucket porta potty.

A friend and I made plans to escape town for late fall adventure in Central Washington: a day hike on the Palouse to Cascades State Park Trail over the still-somewhat-new Beverly Bridge, followed by a night of car camping. This was my first visit to Beverly Bridge since it opened in April of 2022.
