About This Trail

The Bullhead Trail is a hiking trail in a national park. The trail goes up Mount le Conter and has amazing views. The least- traveled route to the summit is the Bullhead Trail. The start of the Bullhead Trail would have been a preferred route for the start of the Rainbow Falls Trail. The two trails are both designated the same parking area, meaning hikers can either ascend one path or descend the other. Despite this, the trail is the more least popular route because it has no great landmarks to accompany it. It is this solitude that makes the trail more appealing to hikers who prefer solitude.
