Although a little steep and blown out at the start, this trail settles in to a nice manageable grade if climbing from the parking area. This is a nice alternative for accessing Iron Mountain Trail and allows you to skip the first three miles of hike-a-bike. Flat Top Trail runs into FS 603 and that can be ridden up to connect with Iron Mt Trail near Cherry Tree Shelter.

Disclaimer

This trail is popular with equestrians. Please obey the rules of the trail and yield.
