Wedge Mountain Trail

Table of contents

The Wedge Mountain Trail is a 3.0mi hike that might feel quite a bit longer thanks to the elevation gain packed into its relatively short distance. This hike is straight up with a bit of light scrambling near the top, so we recommend against hiking with children until you’ve scoped it out. Download your GPS route ahead of time because there are some animal trails that may be confusing. You’ll need a high-clearance, very capable vehicle for the road to the trailhead. Many users end up parking a mile or more from the trailhead and hiking in due to the condition of the road.

Route Description for Wedge Mountain Trail

Once you’ve made it up the road to Wedge Mountain, the fun has just begun. This hike is short, but it’s not shy about packing in the elevation gain. Poles will be a big help, and a capable high-clearance vehicle is an absolute must.

Beginning from the trailhead, the hike is essentially a 4.8 km straight shot to the top. It’s steep, there are no switchbacks, and it doesn’t let up. Take lots of breaks and just keep going. There’s a light scramble section to get to the top, where you can catch your breath as you admire the view. When you’re ready, it’s right back down on the same trail.

Getting to the Wedge Mountain Trail Trailhead

The trailhead for the Wedge Mountain Trail is at the end of National Forest Development Road 7305.
