The route

What the walk involves

BLM describes a three-mile trail to its end, with about 700 feet of total climbing. The strongest viewpoint lies beyond the high point; continue only if your time and return plan allow, and use the BLM route map for the precise loop and trailhead.

On the ground

What makes this trail distinct

Forest, open vistas and remnants of past fire make the summit area distinct from the lower valley. There is no drinking water at the trailhead, parking is limited, and snow may obstruct the access road. Hikers share the route with bikes and horses.

Access and preparation

Before you set out

BLM lists 700 feet of climb. The best viewpoint is past the high point on the loop; snow can block the access road.

Use the BLM trail information ↗ for the latest route map, trailhead access, permitted uses and notices. Conditions can change after our review; if a junction or sign disagrees with this guide, follow the current land-manager guidance.
