Terror Trail

The Terror Trail travels through the Electric Mountain Recommended Wilderness that is included in WSCC’s Community Conservation Proposal and is being considered in the GMUG Forest Planning process. At 9,700 acres, aspens dominate the Electric Mountain, and this ecosystem is underrepresented within the existing wilderness preservation system. It offers outstanding non-motorized hiking and hunting opportunities – and plenty of solitude.

Trail Description: Follow Forest Service Trail #802. The trail crosses Electric Mountain in a west to east direction. It uses an old Jeep road that parallels Hubbard Creek for the first 2 miles. At this point, it climbs moderately up toward Electric Mountain. Aspen, with their verdant understory and abundant wildflowers, dominate the landscape with occasional Spruce and Firs heralding the future of this landscape that is dotted with boulders, moraine, and other evidence of past glaciers.
