Need to Know

No shade anywhere so wear proper clothing and sunblock. Also, bring plenty of water.

There is a new (2026) parking area off of Jasper. Saves a quarter mile from the old trailhead.

Description

This trail provides a steady climb from the gate to the base of the mountain followed by a slow, tough climb with a few switchbacks. The trail is very rocky but manageable. On a clear day, you can see for miles in all directions at the top. Once you start your descent, hold on for a bumpy and fast ride.
