Rock Pile Trail
Rock Pile Trail is a 1.8 km out and back trail that leads you directly up to a viewpoint. This trail is very short, but don’t underestimate how steep it is. Small children may not be able to make it to the top. It’s essentially straight up with occasional slippery sections, but if you can tolerate a short sprint, you’ll have the views to enjoy. Expect light traffic on this route.

Route Description for Rock Pile Trail
Rock Pile Trail gives you fairly quick access to a quality viewpoint. Be prepared for a steep climb, though. The grade is high and sections of loose rock can make this a challenge for young children or beginners. We highly recommend coming when the wildflowers are blooming.
From the highway, take the trail and begin up the hill. It’s steep and loose in parts, and there can be some patches of snow or ice present if you’re here in shoulder season. You won’t lose your way, though. It’s a straight shot to the top where the viewpoint is. The trail continues further, but it does so on private property, so turn back from the viewpoint and retrace your steps to the trailhead.
Getting to the Rock Pile Trail Trailhead
The trailhead for the Rock Pile Trail is on Chumstick Highway.
