Trail Overview

We like to do this Jeep trail clockwise with McAllister Pass starting over on Shrine Pass. The first half mile is in Wearyman Creek. Be careful if the water is high. Ptarmigan Pass spends a lot of time in the trees, with a short section of open views at the pass. There are a few minor challenges north of the pass and a graded road south of the pass. If you also drive McCallister, make sure to take the spur to the top of Resolution Mountain. Great views. Lots of open meadows after you come back down.

Difficulty

Mostly a steep dirt road with great views and a few ledges
