About This Trail

Imported description

This trail has it all, from beautiful forests to fun climbing and views of Mt. You will be inspired by the cliffs of rosario. Hike through old growth timber. It is a good idea to cross the creek at a tenth of a mile before hiking through a series of loose rock. You will cross Snoquera Creek at mile 3.7. You can see the White River Valley at mile 4.7. The next section of your hike will take you through a timber harvest area. The valley is just ahead at mile 5.7. The junction is at mile 6.6.
