Land Owner
Lizard Tail runs from Sunrise to Sunset Point. It is the only black on the mountain so don’t be fooled by the rollable ribbon heading south from Sunset Point. About a mile and a half in the trail kicks it up a notch in exposure and technicality. A wet weather waterfall sprouts over the trail near the southern termination into the Shared Rim Trail.
Access Info
Access from Sunset or Sunrise Points.
