Trail Overview

This 4.6-mile point-to-point sandy trail starts off Highway 120 and ends at FS 29E104, climbing 300 feet and dropping over 450 feet. The one vehicle wide trail starts in a huge meadow lined with sagebrush and short bushes. You're immediately surrounded by rock formations with distant peaks, including Sage Hen Peak. The trail skirts around deep canyons with dramatic views. As you climb, the mountain views improve along with interesting rock formations. In the fall, aspens provide nice foliage near Sage Hen Mountain. Water crossings appear at the half-mile mark and at mile 2.7 in a canyon. Spring crossings could be much higher, so watch water levels.
