Getting There

Directions

The Upper Setting Trailhead is located at the far east end of the Upper Setting Road. The Upper Setting Road is located 8.7 miles east of Kamas on the Mirror Lake Highway. The trailhead is about 7 miles from the highway. Upper Setting is a high-standard graded road, but is rough in a few spots making it recommended for high clearance vehicles only. Currently, there are no facilities at this trailhead except for parking. The trail begins by following a blocked logging road for the first 100 yards before narrowing into a hiking trail.
