Nice short hike. Hell hill is always a challenge but after you get done there, the rest of the way is away from the sun. Did it with my 63 lb. pup which was a challenge because there are about 3 spots that require bouldering or sliding on your butt. But we got it done. The colors on the rock are worth the time to do this hike.

It’s a fun hike with a few challenges. If you go clockwise on the trail(as I always have), you have a decent ascent about half a mile in. Once up there, though, it’s all relatively level or downhill. Sometimes you have to figure out your path to get down into the backside canyon, and there’s one point where you’ll either have to “slide” down about 12-15 feet or crawl through a tiny hole to reach an area that’s a little bit more easy to climb down. It’s definitely the most challenging portion of the hike. After that, it’s all gravy. It’s a beautiful hike with soaring cliffs on each side, and in the final 1 mile stretch, you’ll typically run into boulder climbers who are always nice to say “hello” to. I hope you enjoy hiking around Kraft Mountain!!!
