Trail Overview
This trail is generally accessed from the West Green Mountain Trailhead off of Surface Creek Road. The trail climbs approximately 1400 feet to the Northwest. The trail is rutted and washed out in spots initially but improves as the climb gets steeper. There are 2-3 stream crossings that are 6-12 inches deep. There are steep grades ~2 miles from the trailhead that lack any technical features. 4 miles out the trail gets a little rocky before breaking through the Aspens to a meadow with spectacular views. The last 2 miles can be more rutted and muddy following rain. Cattle seem to frequent the trail so keep an eye out.
