Jolly Mountain Trail #1307

The Jolly Mountain Trail begins at C ayuse Campground and ends at Yellow Hill Trail #1222.

Climbs steadily through clearcuts with numerous switchbacks, crossing Salmon La Sac Creek at about 3 miles. At the junction with Sasse Ridge Trail 1340, trail turns left and follows the ridge top, until the final ascent of Jolly Mountain, which includes a number of switchbacks. This is a fair trail, but it does climb very steadily. For most of the summer, Salmon La Sac Creek is the only water. Early in the season there will be snow banks on Jolly Mountain.
