Guide Saddle

Trail Overview

This trail is more of an access trail to other networks of trails than an exciting trail to a saddle. The trail starts as gravel and gradually transitions to dirt as it slowly gains some elevation. It is wider overall but narrow enough that a vehicle must pull off to allow another to pass. The views can be seen on the way down, but the way up is lined with tall trees. Once at the saddle, there is another network of trails; however, the initial offshoots at the top have locked gates. Pick up the Blue Mountain Connection trail from the saddle, and most of the trails off of that have open gates. One dispersed campsite is at the top of the saddle in the grassy field. No view, though. Also, no winter maintenance or cell service out here.

Difficulty

Mostly wide, gravel becomes dirt, oncoming will have to pull into bushes to pass.
