Engineer Mountain Trail starts at the Cascade Creek Trailhead and steadily climbs deep into the San Juan National Forest. The trail is popular for biking, running, and hiking and is often combined to other trails in the area to create different routes and loops.

The trail passes through open meadows, aspen groves, and fields of wildflowers. This is a pretty diverse trail and is used as a less popular approach to the scramble up Engineer Mountain.
