A recreation area in the West Absaroka Mountains on the Yellowstone District. The trail is short and the climb is severe. There is also a creek crossing. The downhill is fast and loose over hardpack. The gem in this trail is the views. This is a quick and dirty ride if you just need to get out for an hour.
