Features Views

Gone are the days when you were allowed to drive up Roman Nose. Nowadays, you only get to drive up to it if you have just the right shade of green 4x4. Not to worry, you can still visit the hard way and enjoy every grueling inch of it.

This is a serious climb that will have most of us going the hike-a-bike deal at some point. You can legally drive to the ridge, but the parking is better at the lake just below.

This trail follows the ridge so be aware of that when you see the road start to traverse the west slope. Enough people have missed the turn to stay on the ridge that there is a very well-traveled, steep scramble at the end of the road that is also an approved route.
