This is a simple out and back from either end. The trail climbs sharply from an elevation of about 9,600 feet at either end to a high point of about 10,800 in the middle. It's about 3 1/2 miles from the east end to the saddle and about 2 from the west end, making the west side steeper overall, but there is plenty of steep terrain on both sides. The west side alternates between narrow singletrack and old roadbed width trail (it is now non-motorized). There is plenty of loose rock and roots along the way. The east side is of more consistent grade and width, although it is also very rocky in places. This is a challenging climb from either side. Courtesy of Singletracks.com
