Description

Climbing through Aspen groves into thick mixed conifer forest. This trail is steep, rocky, and rutted at times. Usually hiked as a loop after climbing up Abineau trail and traversing over on waterline road, or vice versa. Navigation is straightforward, but be mindful of the high elevation and potential for heavy monsoon storms in the summer.

Flora & Fauna

Deer and Elk are common in this area
