The trail climbs from about 5,250 feet to roughly 7,450 feet, a gain of 2,018 feet, and is rated expert in difficulty. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trailhead is named Wilson Corrals. Bikes and horses are both allowed on the natural-surface route. The trip works year-round, with parking at the Wilson Corrals Trailhead. Summer is the most comfortable time to go.
