The trailhead begins at the Crags Campground parking lot. The Crags is a popular hiking and cross-country skiing area. The first mile is relatively gentle with the last mile becoming a steeper climb. However, once you have completed your ascent, a spectacular panoramic view is enjoyed to the North.
