About
There is a designated hiking trail into the Troublesome Basin area. This is a multi-use trail. It is a moderate hike that has camping spots along the way. There are lots of opportunities for solitude during the summer, but it's mostly used during hunting season. There are no developed facilities. The interface of sagebrush and Aspen is where the setting is. It is at 10,500 feet elevation.
