Trail Overview
Tight Tree Trail starts at the main 5-mile parking lot and will begin on an easy well well-traveled path in the open. It will soon split from the main path into the trees, becoming pretty tight, hence the name. Then it will pop out on the ridge and follow up and down along this ridge. There are a lot of splits in the trail and can vary from tight trees to rocky, small steps, but all paths will lead to the same area. Towards the end or start, depending on which side you come from, the trail will hit a hill that will have a few 6-12 inch steps, but if you stick to the side, there is an easier way around with only one step.
History
The trail was used for mining in the 1800s and 1900s.
