Eight-Mile Trail #654.02 is an unmaintained trail that begins with a gentle climb, following an old abandoned road. The trail is popular with rock climbers as it goes by Three-O'clock Rock on the south side of Jumbo Mountain. From this point on, the trail climbs steeply up the mountain over a long series of switchbacks, eventually meeting the Squire Creek trail at Squire Creek Pass. Cascading waterfalls from the numerous streams and the frequent tarns located along the way make this an enjoyable hike. Mountain goats are known to frequent the area. During the late summer, ripe huckleberries can be found at the pass. This trail is 2.5 miles one way and is considered to be most difficult.
