The trail network spans over 100 miles through this montane terrain. Summer brings wildflowers and ripe huckleberries along the trails. From the summit, panoramic views stretch across the region. Three historic structures dot the landscape: a 1935 CCC Heritage House, a 1938 cabin now used as a trail shelter, and Vista House at the top.

Scenic ViewsVisitors report expansive panoramic views from the summit and other high points, including views of surrounding lakes and valleys. Interpretive plaques at the summit describe how nearby lakes were deposited around the valley.

Go if

Hikers and huckleberry hunters who can show up July through September will get the full picture: Trail 100 to Trail 110, wildflowers, summit panoramas, and rangers who'll point out where to fill your dog's water bottle. Reserve early on GoingToCamp.

Skip if

The pass math stings: Discover Pass, Snow Park Pass, and a Special Groomed Trail Sticker can stack to $150 before you've paid for a campsite. Budget campers and anyone arriving before the summit road opens in June will find the experience noticeably incomplete.
