Though part of the original Whole Enchilada to connect to Warner Lake, this section of singletrack has been repurposed into more of a hiking alternative for people walking around the Warner Lake area. Mountain bikers now have a bike-specific trail just to the south that provides a great connector over to Hazard County. Please stay off this hiking-only section to prevent the clashing of hikers and cyclists.

Description

This trail is most commonly used as a part of the Whole Enchilada from the junction with Burro Pass Trail #315. From the junction, the trail continues in similar fashion with a steep, narrow descent in mixed forest. The grade mellows out quickly and, eventually, you'll find yourself climbing through huge aspen stands.

Once the trail tilts downward, hold on and enjoy a ripping, low-angle descent through the aspens (which are incredible in the fall, by the way.) At a junction, you can stay right to check out the lake or left to finish the singletrack. The trail dumps out onto the dirt road which you can follow downhill to Hazard County.
