Wedge Mountain Trail
The Wedge Mountain Trail is a 4.8 km 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.

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.
