The loop starts and ends at the Toutle Trail trailhead. At the junction before crossing the Kalama River, Cinnamon Trail on the right travels through old-growth forest along the raging river. The trail climbs away from the river and views emerge - from the Kalama Valley to Mount Rainier and all high points in between. Views of Mount St. Helens, Mount Adams, Mount Hood, Goat Mountain, the Souixon Peaks, Silver Star Mountain and McBride Lake are the pride of this trail. Turning left from Redrock Pass is the Kalama River, aka Toutle Trail, the return path of the loop.
