Description

Start with moderate hiking on loose golf ball-sized rocks until leveling off on the mesa below Steamboat Rock. From here on, the trail is much smoother and very easy going.

The scenery is overwhelmingly excellent with the exception of some power lines.

Used Jim Thompson trail as a connector to Wilson Mountain. Jim Thompson trail is a fairly easy but very scenic trail that can take you to Midgley… 5mi
