Tom and Jerry Trail #1084
The Tom and Jerry Trail provides access to the northern end of the Sky Lakes Wilderness. This area receives less use than the lake basins, and can provided solitude for those wishing to spend some time alone. McKie Shelter is an old trail camp location. The shelter was built between 1934 and 1936, and was named after a sheepherder, Tom McKie. Numerous meadows, small streams, and rock formations in the McKie vicinity make this an interesting area to explore. The Mudjekeewis Trail provides spectacular views of the Middle Fork Canyon, which is over 3,000 feet deep. Both of these trails can be very rocky in places. Horse feed is plentiful.
Water is available along the first 1.5 mile, and then the trail is dry until you reach McKie Shelter. There is no water available on the Mudjekeewis Trail.
