West Mountains Northern Loop

Description

, West Mountain (North)/Poison Creek Trailhead

- 15 miles, ~2,700 ft climbing

Description:

The northern loop is more difficult, but also a lot more scenic, than the southern loop, so that's why it's being offered as a shorter alternative. I would recommend going clockwise on this one, but both directions are challenging for different reasons. The high meadows at the top of this loop offer sweeping vistas to the West and up to the Seven Devils range. If you are lucky you will see more bears than people.
