Overview

Good day run from upper Miller canyon trailhead. The summit has 360-degree unobstructed views of the entire area.

Need to Know

Approximately 1.7 of the road is on dirt, passable with most passengers cars. No bathrooms here, but there are some at the lower trailhead.

Runner Notes

While a fairly steady and at times steep climb, it's not overly rocky.

Description

Park at the upper Miller Canyon Trailhead. Note: for bathrooms, stop at the lower trailhead. This run is a steady climb most of the way up. Although it is very straightforward, trail finding is very easy. Around two miles in, you'll come across the bathtub spring. The final two miles are a steady climb just below the ridgeline, before hitting the junction for the summit, which then turns left for a final steep push to the summit with great views of the entire area, as well as into Mexico.
