Access:
Follow the Iron Horse Trail for around one mile (a quarter mile past Boxley Creek). On the right side you will find the Cedar Butte Trail. It may have a sign but do not be looking for that alone. After leaving the Iron Horse, you'll cross an old logged-over area, then climb steeply up the back side of Cedar Butte.
