About This Trail

Imported description

The LowerRotary Canyon loop trail is an extension of this trail. It is a little more strenuous as the trail is longer and there are a few places where scrambling is required. The trail is more secluded than the lower loop as it takes hikers further from the road and Bearpaw Lake. The trail can be combined with the lower loop trail to maximize mileage. The fall colors here are stunning, and the wildflowers are abundant. There are many places to go fishing and camping in the area.
