Hat Point

Trail Overview

Hat Point is a scenic, graded road that climbs along cliff ledges overlooking vast valleys, ridges, and surrounding mountains. The route travels through lush pine forests and vibrant flora, especially spectacular in the spring when greenery flourishes. Along the way, the trail passes through several recent burn areas, offering unique views of forest regeneration contrasted with towering trees. The highlight is the stunning panoramic views of the Innaha River canyon below, providing some of the most spectacular scenery in the region. This easy but scenic route is perfect for a peaceful drive with lots of photo opportunities. But realize it climbs almost 3000 feet. Make sure your brakes are in good condition. Consider low gear for control and saving those brakes.
