The Crosier Mountain Garden Gate trailhead, located about two miles west of Drake along Hwy 43, has room for six to eight vehicles, but no restrooms. The Crosier Mountain Trail from the Garden Gate Trailhead begins with a very steep descent that you might need to hike whether riding it up or down from the small parking area, followed by a climb back up another steep hill before dropping again to pass the popular rock climbing area known as "The Monastery." After this, the trail evens out and climbs more steep grades with large rock obstacles, over rolling hills until reaching a picturesque meadow with camping spots. The meadow provides a mellow grade and great flow, which is a nice break from the climbing! From the meadow, the trail ascends through a gully, eventually leveling off in a dense pine forest where it intersects with the Rainbow Trail. The summit of Crosier Mountain is just 0.5 miles from this point, accessible via a spur trail.
