The out-and-back, 8.5-mile-long (13.7-kilometer)Cimarrona Trail passes along the northeast side of the peak and then continues north to the trail's junction with the Continental Divide Trail at Squaw Pass. The trail starts at a point north of Williams Creek Reservoir and enters the Weminuche Wilderness. A natural arch lies along its route. [3] [4]
