North Pyramid Trail #4161

Traveling south, the trail heads down steep grades to a wet meadowy area and Pyramid Creek bridge. After crossing Pyramid Creek, the trail then climbs steeply up a major ridgeline using numerous switchbacks to reach the crest of Middle Pyramid. Follow Pyramids Trail to the top of Middle Pyramid Peak.

Vegetation along the way is dominated by typical mature mixed conifer forests. You will discover areas created by natural slumps harboring cedar and moist plant communities. As you gain elevation, you catch occasional glimpses of views to the west before reaching the ridge between North and Middle Pyramids.

The trail provides the northern access to the Three Pyramids ridgeline and shares a trailhead with Scar Mountain Trail.
