Mt. Hillyer Trail Guide

The climb has a small respite when you get to Horse Flat Campground, and then you head up again. The descent is an easy cruise back to the start.

Why is the official Mt Hillyer, at 6162 feet, lower than the 6200 feet ridgeline that’s about 300 yards away?

There is no water or toilets at the trailhead, but there are primitive toilets at Horse Flat Campground, 1 mile into the hike.

This is the trailhead parking area. It’s not a big lot, but there’s usually not a lot of people here. If the lot is full, park in one of the earlier parking areas that you passed.

Here’s a map showing the trailhead relative to where you drive into the visitor’s center. Just drive straight past all the picnic areas and parking lots.
