This is an easy double-wide trail through Montane. The surface is smooth gravel, the grades are modest and there are no challenging switch backs. The trail takes you out to the Montane Hut, with great views across to the Lizard Range. The trail is groomed for multi-use in the winter.

Access Info

Look on Trailforks to see where to turn off the Montane trail. It's a very obvious junction.
