Season

This entry suggests the best times of the year to fully enjoy the attributes of a particular trip, including the average times of snow-free trails. The season may vary some from year to year based upon the previous winter’s snowpack and how quickly the snowpack melts in the spring and early summer.

Maps

The USGS 7.5-minute topographic maps for each trip are listed here, along with any recommended USFS or state park maps.

Nearest Campground

This listing is for visitors who may wish to camp in a developed campground before or after a trip. In addition to the main trip description, many additional side trips, cross-country routes, or alternative routes are described and are easily identifiable so as not to be confused with the main trip description.

The Trips

Each trip description begins with some general information about the condition of the trail and the features of the area you should expect to experience. Within the trip highlights are any special considerations or necessary cautions that are important to effectively plan your trip. Also, the general information includes an idea of the amount of traffic you should expect to encounter along the trail and at destinations. Each trip also includes a map and an elevation profile. For out-and-back trips, the profile shows data for the trip from the trailhead and to your destination but not your return journey retracing your steps.
