Trail Overview

This trail can be accessed off Highway 260 or FSR 112. This short trail will take you through some beautiful aspen trees that canopy over the trail near the summit. The forest is pretty dense throughout most of the trail and often you will see wildlife, with elk, deer, and turkeys being the most common. There is a nice camping spot just off Highway 260 where the trail starts/ends.

Beautiful trail. There was one steep eroded section where I used 4L but otherwise just rocky.
