Trail Overview

This in-and-out trail can be accessed from the Gold Hill side of the Switzerland Trail - North. It offers two paths: one easy and one more challenging. The more difficult route features large rocks and boulders, contributing to its overall difficulty. At the top of the trail, you'll find a stone circle with 12 standing stones, often thought to be a calendar. The views of the surrounding mountain ranges are stunning, making this a great spot for a picnic or to test your vehicle's suspension on a recent build. This trail gets blocked by snow and is best explored during the summer and early autumn.

I am somewhat a beginner and this trail is very intimidating. It’s very steep with very large rocks. I wanted to have lunch at the top but decided I wasn’t experienced enough about 50 feet into the climb. My vehicle could have handled it, but like I said just a little bit out of my comfort zone. I can’t wait to go back and tackle it once I’ve got more experience under my belt!

Fun trail, nice climb with loose rocks. right path it's easier with a left turn with some decent ruts. left path rocky but it's a straight shot. No issues with my stock JLU Rubicon. The climb to the top, it's worth the view.

Harder than expected. Your options are very loose scree on the left or deep ruts on the right. Was able to make it up the left without a locker, but barely. Could not make it up the right.
