This well maintained trail takes you through lush forests around bases of the Agassiz and Fremont peaks. From the trailhead, you will have gentle elevation changes to the Kachina Wilderness boundary about 1/2 mile away. The trail begins to descend to interesting rock and cave formations through Spruce and Aspen forests. You will see a nice large cave along the way, providing great shelter from the unexpected monsoon rains (bring a rain-coat).
Following the trail for another 3 miles, the forests open up into large meadows offering great views of Flagstaff areas and the peaks. Over the next three miles you will be taken on a descent through various vegetation, eventually meeting up with the Weatherford Trail a total of 6.1 miles from trailhead.
This is an in-and-out trail, so turn back at this junction or you may continue on Weatherford Trail to Schultz pass another 2 miles away.
