    Tips

    July 14, 2023

    The switchbacks going up Mount Belford start just after breaking treeline, and they don't stop until right before you get to the summit. It can be easy to get discouraged moving up this steep section, but the trail has wide open views the whole way with only better views at the top.



    Please don't cut the switchbacks when running downhill. The trail is so steep that erosion happens easily.
