Route Description for Silver Star and Ed’s Trail Loop
The loop to Silver Star Mountain on Ed’s Trail and Silver Star Trail is a fun trip with great scenery. We especially like this trail in the fall when the leaves are changing. Come prepared for steep sections, narrow drop-offs, and some light scrambling.
We recommend downloading your GPS track ahead of time as there’s no service for most at the trailhead. Additionally, you’ll likely need a high clearance vehicle to make it up the forest road to the trailhead.
Beginning from the trailhead, go left onto Ed’s Trail. Generally keep left at the junctions. The trail begins fairly mildly, but take your time navigating a narrow, steep section on the way to the base of Silver Star mountain. As you approach the mountain, go straight through the first junction, then keep left, then keep right. Ascend the peak, enjoy the views, then head back down to where the trail splits. Keep left onto Silver Star Trail. Things are a little less precarious on this side. Follow this trail back to the starting point, taking care not to veer off on one of the connecting side trails.
