Hardtrigger Trail

This 18.2-mile out-and-back trail takes you to a scenic overlook of Hardtrigger Creek in the Owyhee Mountain Range. The trail starts at the Wilson Creek Trailhead and parallels the Northwest Passage Hiking Trail. At approx. 4 miles you enter Stewarts Gulch and begin the climb up a canyon paralleling Hardtrigger Creek. You will take the trail to the left at 6.4 miles and follow up the canyon along Little Hardtrigger Creek. The final steep climb is at 8.2 miles up a ridge line to the turnaround point. This is an excellent place to stop for a snack before continuing your trip back to Wilson Creek Trailhead.
