Trail Overview

You will be at the top of the mountain, although you'll be able to see Republican Mountain, which is taller, further ahead. Some of the higher terrain in this area is actually private mining land. Be sure to stay on the legal route. The Scepire Mine is one of the best features of the trail and is located on private property, so you may have to hike to it. Open all year.

I'm probably late to discover this but the only way you used to be able to get above the tree line is now closed thanks to the lovely forest service and I'm sure it'll never open back up again. This portion of the trail was open earlier this year before the snow completely melted above the tree line.

loose and rocky, verry tight with trees and small boulders either side, much easier to hit skid plates on the way down. would recommend at minimum 31s and a aftermarket skids for a tacoma. 4 low was required in some spots, you will slide sideways and br off camber most of the trail.
