DIXIE NATIONAL FOREST, UT - Featuring a labyrinth of Bristlecone Pines and a unique view of Cedar Breaks, this is a high-elevation hike with a sheer drop-off at the end. From the trailhead, there is a brief downhill followed by a steady climb that is worth it!

Trailhead location: Trailhead is located on Summit Mountain Road (a dirt forest road), keeping to the High Mountain Road side. Follow the signs to the trailhead.

Trail Tips: There is little shelter from the sun, bring water and make sure to wear sunscreen.
