Family Friendly If you are staying at the group campground, this short trail is a good option to give kids a taste of hiking in the area!

Description

This relatively easy, one-mile long trail leads from the Sheep Pass Campground to the Ryan Mountain Trail. The trail has a few small ups and downs along its length but nothing too challenging to contend with. If you are staying at the campground, this is a nice option for an easy out-and-back hike or it can be the start of a much longer hike to the summit of Ryan Mountain.
