Beginning at the main 4-way intersection, the Meridian trail steadily climbs over 1,140 feet in 3.9 miles to reach its destination at the Domo by Ensamble Studio. While the trail switchbacks throughout the ascent, the climb is moderate to demanding in difficulty depending on physical fitness level.

About two-thirds up the trail at 2.4 miles, there is a shade structure that can be used for a picnic spot, or as a rest-stop along the way. From here guests can also choose to walk the Azimuth Trail to either Ensamble Studio's Inverted Portal, seen from the shade structure, or the Beartooth Portal. Another 1.5 miles of ascent on the Meridian will take guests to the Domo.

This trail can be explored in either direction, making it a fun descent on the bike or a pleasurable walk back to the visitor center. Round-trip the Meridian is 9.8 miles, making it a great option for an all-day outing.
