About this site
The trail is well signed at the trailhead, boundary and all junctions. This site provides access to Cougar Ridge trail #1668 which enters Eagle Cap Wilderness . Much of this trail is along the ridgetop, but will go in and out of old burned forested areas where you will see many ponderosa pine trees.
The trailhead is equipped with a stock unloading ramp. This trail also offers excellent wildlife viewing opportunities. There are many dispersed campsites along this route.
The guard station cabin is in good condition, but is not for public use. There are several trails that come together near the cabin, making it an excellent choice for a base camp.
