Land OwnerUSFS
The trail starts down road about .1 miles. Looks for a memorial sign on a tree, on the uphill side.
Trail #292 starts out moderately steep, up thru a thick forest with several benches that allow a bit of rest before climbing again. The higher you get on this trail, the more open spaces occur. At about 1.6 miles, you have an option to stay on the USFS trail, or walk up a ridge where a fire burned years ago. This route is warmer on cold days, where the USFS trail is in the trees on hot sunny days. Closer to the summit, the trees thin, and a meadows or two allows for views and wildflowers. Huckleberries flank the trail on the upper slopes. As you get closer the the summit, the views west open up. Within 10 or 15 minutes, the trail turns to light rock hopping, then you are on top. And the views are spectacular. Off to the east and SE, the full length of the American Selkirks is your view.
And what a view it is.
