Description

Access
via the 300 south in Smithfield (from main street, drive
about 3 miles east on 300 south, to a parking area at the
Forest Service trailhead). Beginning at 5500 ft.
elevation, the trail follows Dry Canyon east through the
Mount Wilderness, arriving at a 8900 ft. saddle between
Flattop Mountain and Mount Jardine after about 5 miles.
Here, hikers may return on the Birch Creek trail, or
continue past Mt. Jardine to the Green Canyon trail
(officially, the Mt. Naomi Peak NRT), near Mt.Elmer. This
is a fairly difficult trail, not well-maintained, with
many switchbacks in steep sections.
