Lizard Head Wilderness

About

The Lizard Head Wilderness offers a moderate fall hiking experience, with trails that traverse through aspen groves and coniferous forests, providing scenic views of the surrounding mountains. Hikers can expect a 2-hour outing on trails that may be rocky and steep in some areas, with an elevation gain that requires a moderate level of physical fitness. From September to November, the fall foliage is a notable feature, with the aspen trees turning golden yellow, and the trails are generally dry and clear of snow. Visitors can access the trails from the parking area, which also offers restrooms and allows pets, making it a convenient and accessible destination for those looking to enjoy the fall hiking season.
