Land Owner
Lizard Tail runs from Sunrise to Sunset Point. It is the only black on the mountain so don’t be fooled by the rollable ribbon heading south from Sunset Point. About a mile and a half in the trail kicks it up a notch in exposure and technicality. A wet weather waterfall sprouts over the trail near the southern termination into the Shared Rim Trail.
Access Info

North to South : The first 90% is a mildly technical rock highway with punchy short climbs and only slight exposure in a few spots. The last 10% is mostly up hill with steeps and step ups, requiring big moves with some exposure, easily walkable. If you're super skilled and don't mind exposure ride South to North, you may never need to dismount. For normal riders the suggested North to South allows you to warmup nicely, as the trail slowly gets harder.

The hiker only signs refer to the trails that cross the lizard Trail.
