Pine Mountain Trail is a 1.2-mile moderately difficult trail, climbing to 6,800 feet in elevation. This is another trail in the system of trails serving hikers and horseback riders traveling in the Pine Mountain Wilderness. From this trail, you can get some nice views of the Pine Mountain. The west side of Pine Mountain was burned during a 1989 wildfire. From this particular trail the traveler can observe the changes in the vegetation toward a composition of native grasses as a result of the fire. Though this is a relatively short trail, the ascent during the first 0.25 miles is particularly steep.
