Trail Overview

This is an out-and-back scenic trail that has a little bit of everything. It has some narrow spots in the trail, large embedded rock shelves and ledges, and steep trail through loose rocks. There are deep mud pits, large mud puddles weeks after rain, and amazing viewpoints all while winding your way through pines and aspens. There are plenty of places to dry camp along the way. ATVs 50 inches and narrower can drop down to Mirror Lake Highway. High clearance is needed for this trail. No trailers of any kind are suggested.

This trail is a great trail to get more acquainted to off-roading. Full size vehicles can take it with no issues. Would recommend locking center diff for most confidence. For those looking camp, it’s best to stop half-way through the trail at the peak. There’s a smaller trailer that leads to the peak that is very flat with great views. It will be breezy during the day but calms down at night.
