Description
The trail begins at the bottom of the Dreamcatcher lift. The first part snakes through the woods then cuts across the mountain on a traverse. The traverse ends on a ridgeline with stunning views. Continuing up the ridge, the trail makes tight switchbacks. It ends at an observation point near the top of Dreamcatcher lift, offering clear views of the Tetons on the other side of the range. There are plenty of options to get down: Either return by the same trail, continue past the lift and down Fred's Mountain Trail, or take the lift down.
