Description

From the Buffalo Horn trailhead, this trail climbs steadily to Buffalo Horn Pass. Along the way the trail meanders along creeks, through thick forest, into high alpine meadows. You have options to turn off onto Ramshorn Lake Trail to Ramshorn Lake or continue to Buffalo Horn Pass and down into Tom Miner Basin.
