Make Tuesday your Trail Day. Each Tuesday, we are shinning a spotlight on one of our 25 trails for you to explore on your own. Make sure you are prepared for your hike and Leave No Trace. We recommend downloading our free Avenza map before you start your trek.

This Tuesday we are spotlighting Mountain Top Trail

You can access this trail several ways but the easiest is by starting on Guest Lodge Trail. Mountain Top trail is 2.4 miles one way and rated difficult for good reason. You can easily connect to Mountain Side Trail to make a loop back to Guest Lodge Trail. There is a great view of the lake and should be beautiful in the fall.
