This segment of trail is at the the highest elevation that you will reach on the Upper Bristlecone Trail. It traverses a rocky, open ridge line above Lee Canyon. There are a few narrow points along the trail, but it is very well defined and does not feel overly exposed. Along the hike, you get particularly fantastic views of the Sisters, Mummy Mountain, Mount Charleston and all of Lee Canyon. If traveling northwest on this section, you can also see the trail ahead of you: a wide, open road cut into the side of a gravelly hill dotted with pine trees.
