Hiking

The Ptarmigan Loop Trail and Ptarmigan Peak Trail intersect in an open meadow near treeline. This also marks the Ptarmigan Peak Wilderness boundary, and no bikes are allowed to climb further up the trail. There are two ways down the mountain from here with the Ptarmigan Peak Trail being steeper and more advanced.
