Description: Start the trail under the American Flyer Lift. You will pass a few intersections. At mile 2.6 you
will cross Guller Creek. Later up the climb you will pass Janet's Cabin and then summit at mile
6.6. You can either turn around here or continue a little farther to Kokomo Pass. You will climb
to get to the top of the pass and will climb again on the way back.
This trail is worth a ride. You can do it as an out-and-back or go all the way to Camp Hale. Most of the route is rideable, although you may end up pushing when you get to the tops of the passes.
This is a fantastic ride. There's only about 2,500 feet of elevation gain, but when you're starting at almost 10,000 ft, that can really hurt. The alpine woodlands keep you company until you burst out above treeline and get to the gorgeous, million mile views. Although not that long, bring an extra Clif Bar and be prepared for the long haul. Also be prepared for rain/sleet/snow/lightning, even in August. This one rates high on the adventure scale.
