Stegosaurus Butte — Friday, Dec. 27, 2024

Started from middle fork trailhead, in the rain the entire time. After the iron bridge you go right. The turnoff to go uphill is easy to miss, it’s about 200yds after the bridge. The trail starts very muddy, but gets much better after a short time (10 minutes of muddiness max). The trail continues uphill steeply and is quite rooty, which is slippery when wet. We took about 1hr going up and down. Very little view in the rain and mist but seemed like it’d be very pretty in the clear. This is a pretty steep trail so be aware and be careful. The trail is pretty easy to follow for being unmaintained. Fitbit gave ~3 miles and 2hrs.
