As of January 2017, the Bonneville Hot Springs Resort & Spa has been closed to public entry. The Dick Thomas Trailhead at the former resort is no longer an option. The only legal choice for hikers is to begin this hike at the Bonneville Trailhead:



  • Distance: 15.5 miles round trip
  • Elevation gain: 4320 feet


Activity Notes

Long grueling hike but great views from top.  Last 2 miles most difficult part of hike.  Please bring 3 L of water.  Hiking poles helpful for hike down.  Will need northwest forest pass to park at trail head.
