Monument Hill Access - FS 401

Trail Overview

The trail begins at the end of Park County, Wyoming County Road 7UH. The first section is just gravel, level, county road, but turns more rugged further in. It is about 13.8 miles long with some ruts, rocks, and short but steep inclines. In wet weather, this could become very difficult. Although there are several spur roads to explore, there is no outlet, and you will need to return the way you came.

History

On the climb up Rattlesnake Mountain, going on the trail, you might notice that the area is lush and greener than most of the region. Numerous small ponds, lakes, and streams fill the valley. These are fed from many springs and seeps along the eastern slope of Rattlesnake Mountain, making this area a haven for wildlife. Note that most of the land leading into the area is private property. Please respect the landowner's property rights and keep this access open for everyone.
