Trail Overview

This trail starts up Marlette Canyon before splitting off from Sawmill Trail. It then splits again from the most direct and well marked route to the peak, dropping back down into a drainage, before climbing back up and around to follow the crest of the ridge. It rejoins the direct route just before the trail to Midnight Meadows.

I don’t know if the trail is mislabeled, but the “green” section definitely felt like it should be rated as more difficult. I try to stick to green trails - rated 1/ to 3/10 - and haven’t been on anything like this. It’s steep, rutted, off-camber, and quite narrow in many places. The Rivian itself had no problem with the route, even on 22” street/sport tires *aired down* to ~37 psi. Someone with more experience will probably laugh, but this trail wasn’t what I expected, especially given my limited experience. In the end I enjoyed the accomplishment, but the whole time on the trail I feared that we’d eventually encounter an obstacle too difficult to overcome, and would be faced with the prospect of somehow reversing course. We eventually made it - starting at Greenie Peak and descending on Greenie East until we got to Sawmill. When the trail forks, check both lines before proceeding to be sure which line you prefer. They will converge again after a short distance, but one will be more challenging.

This trail is definitely rated wrong. It is not easy by no means. Very rough and pitches on our Jeep 26% with a 12% roll. We had to use a spotter to get through several areas. This is not for beginner by far.
