The opal creek forest has so many trailheads and lovely spots. The road to get there is CRAZY with so many large pot holes, needs maintenance badly. Tip: Bring a light jacket some spots are surprisingly chilly and 5 dollars cash so you can buy a day pass and not risk a ticket.

Late season hike Dec 15, no fees, no traffic, no rain, just a nice little 6 mile round trip. Only 4 souls were still here and the Mayor, a cat. Cabin rental and General Store during season, solar power, hydro power and fresh mountain water. Old buildings and relics of days past. Dedicated to Megan Amanda Manson 10/21/98-12/16/2019

The path to Jawbone Flats is actually pretty flat and nearly a gravel road. I don't think an appropriate scooter would have much trouble with the path. I would go in the summer when the trail isn't wet. He won't be able to go to Opal Creek and might not be able to go on a couple side trails, but the main trail is something a truck could drive down.
