Description

The trail begins at the West Crockett Trailhead and passes near a beautiful falls, with excellent views provided by a short spur trail. After crossing the Middle Fork of Stony Creek, the route follows benchy country in pine trees. As the trail turns to the sough, grand views of the Lake Pillsbury Basin and surrounding mountains are prevalent to the west with the Middle Fork of Stony Creek Canyon to the east. The trail leads into Milk Ranch, one of the largest meadow areas on Snow Mountain. Although the Milk Ranch meadow is private property, the landowner allows horse and foot travelers to pass through on the trail, but requests that no camps be set up within the posted portion of the meadow. As the trail turns north again and passes through the meadow, there are wonderful views from the ridge. As it approaches West Crockett Trailhead, the route switchbacks down to Stony Creek before ascending to the Trailhead.
