Hornaday Pass Trail

The well defined, 4.5 km trail to Hornaday Pass climbs gradually up Norboe Creek, through a mixedforest of predominantly Douglas-fir; lodgepole pine; whitebark fir and trembling aspen. In many places it crosses fine talus slopes and avalanche chutes, which can hold snow into the early summer. Recreationists should be aware ofthe potential for avalanches at almost anytime of the year. At the pass there is a small cabin, and a rustic campsite, for the use of hikers and horseback riders. The pass is a good place for viewing goats and big horn sheep. Bear sightings are not unusual, so, be prepared. From the pass, skilled route finders can follow an indistinct and intermittent trail north up Brule Creek. For those heading down Brule Creek, the first part of the trail is indistinct. Follow the obvious route, and you will soon come upon a well defined trail, which continues east down Brule Creek to the Elk River valley. This section of the trail is about 9.5 km long.
