Description
Just west of Forellen Peak (9,715'), Forellen Divide heads south and rises gradually from the intersection with Berry Creek and Jackass Pass. Geologists will note that the Forellen Peak fault extends southeastward from Survey Peak (9,277'), through Forellen Peak all the way to Ranger Peak (11,355'). This broad saddle trail rises between Forellen and Conant Pass, crosses four creeks, and terminates at the saddle overlooking Owl Peak (10,593').
