About This Trail

Imported description

The trail was cut off on a map but is marked on it's own. This later joined with the main trail. It was done to top of the Barrett Spur with a rock scramble, don't you see a fake summit there as you go up? Came down the side of the trail that leads to Dollar Lake. After meeting the Timberline trail, we went through the area of Wy'East Basin and Cairn Basin. According to the AllTrail app, it was 15.83 miles and 4970 elevation. The view in distance and close is awesome and it is also worth the money for the wildflowers on the Timberline trail. There are a lot of people on the Timberline trail, but not many in the area of the Barrett Spur.
