This trail provides access to Big Meadow and Long Meadow, with a number of good campsites, mostly undulating through forest along the meadow margins. At the top of Long Meadow, the trail makes a ridiculously steep ascent. It then follows the ridge top, with views to the north, passing a junction with Torgerson Meadow Trail, and after a short drop reaches the Haypress Trail on Sandy Ridge.
McCash Loop received maintenance in 2014. The trail was clear at that time, except for blockages at the extreme eastern end at Haypress Trail. There has been no recent maintenance. There may be new down timber, mostly after the upper end of Long Meadow, particularly in areas affected by wildfire in recent years. (Updated June 2016.)
