Need to Know

Trail is 7.9 miles from the little bridge near the parking lot, thought the sign says 4.5 miles.

Description

This trail is longer than what is in the local trail guide (4.5 miles), but it’s fantastic and well worth the effort. The views are nice and variable (meadows, rivers/streams, boulders, distant peaks) all along the hike, but the ending is spectacular. There are some steep sections towards the end, so be ready for some climbing and descending.

Flora & Fauna

Variety of wildflowers.
