The trail starts just to the left of the Colby Canyon Trail board.

It’s an out and back hike up Colby Canyon Trail to the summit. You can also see the fire road route on this map, which I don’t think is as nice a route as Colby Canyon.

There are some little ups and downs along the way, but overall you’ll be climbing, with a nice flat section between Josephine Saddle and the intersection with the fire road.

There’s a trailhead sign here to confirm you are in the correct spot. FYI no parking pass is needed here.

The lot isn’t massive, but I’ve never seen it full.
