Molas Trail is moderately rated and features beautiful meadows and flowing creeks. Views of the Grenadier Mountain Range can be seen to the southeast, and views of the West Needle Mountains can be seen to the southwest. This trail is open to trail runners, hikers, backpackers, equestrians, and mountain bikers.
