Trail Overview

After you enter the gate, you go through a little sand, take a left, and head to the Sawtooth Mountains. Continue on the trail past the Ironwood Forest National Monument. There's wonderful scenery as you travel an easy trail. After you seem to be clearing the mountains, you will go right and up a steep incline (Widow Makers Pass). Stop at the top and look at the view. After going down the pass, you have many off-shoot trails you can explore, all with different degrees of difficulty. This is a stunning area and not very traveled, so take your time and enjoy.
