Albert Trailhead

This primitive trailhead (pronounced "al-bear") accesses the east side of the Petty Mountain roadless area via the Albert Creek Trail #719. The full 6 mile trail connects to the Wild Horse Point Trail #720, with junctions along the way with Albert Point Trail #732 and Petty Mountain Trail #8 (via Trail #731). This network provides several opportunities for overnight use, loops, or point-to-point hikes. All trails in the area are closed to motor vehicles (except Trail #720, see Motor Vehicle Use Map).
