About This Trail

Imported description

The trail was recently closed due to damage. The Conundrum Trailhead is now open, but the trail is still covered in debris. If you want more information, you can visit the White River Recreation Area at the US Forest Service website. As the trees get smaller, you will gradually ascend Conundrum Creek Valley. It is possible to take a soak at Conundrum Hot Springs after the long approach. You can go to the opposite side of the valley in the morning and follow the guide to ascend both peaks. You will be able to access both peaks on a steep and loose slope up to the ridge. You can either return to the trail down the canyon or head back up to the springs.
