Trail Overview

Breathe in the high mountain air on this short but fun ride that starts above 10,000 feet. The top is a flat tundra above the treeline, great for picnics and taking pictures. Please always stay on the designated trail. No road closures, but expect snow through early summer and starting early fall.

Easy trail the only obstacle is a small ledge midway. Mostly dry and smooth. Great views from top above tree line of surrounding mountains and Climax mining operation.

about 1/3rd of the way up a Rubicon was diagonal across part of the trail and there was decent mud/snow making it difficult to proceed. i was alone, so I turned around
