Doe Mountain Trail traverses up the west side of the mountain. It is best to do this hike in the morning so going up and down the hill you will be in the shade. The pictures were taken from a hike between the hours of 9:00 AM and 11:00 AM. The trail is 0.7 miles from to the top with an elevation change of 400 feet. On the top of the mesa there is a trail which leads to the opposite side and many side paths which encircle the mesa. This will add about a mile to the hike.

There is one short section at the very top of a 45 degree crevice with very good stepping stones. This can be traversed easily up and down.     Close Up View of Trail
