Trail Overview

You will be at the top of the mountain, although you'll be able to see Republican Mountain, which is taller, further ahead. Some of the higher terrain in this area is actually private mining land. Be sure to stay on the legal route. The Scepire Mine is one of the best features of the trail and is located on private property, so you may have to hike to it. Open all year.

Status Reports

Very rocky at the beginning portion, had a few scrapes going up and down on a stock 4runner but it was very doable

Very Rock ! Need experience to do this trail ! But very fun only bad thing is that you go back the same way you go up!

It’s pretty rocky at the start and will shake you up quite a bit. But it does smooth out about half way up. It’s very narrow in many spots.
