Crosier Mountain Glen Haven (#931-2)

Crosier Mountain can be approached from three trailheads on the south side of County Road 43. The first is Garden Gate (#931) Trailhead located 2.2 miles from Drake. Rainbow (#981) Trailhead is 5.5 miles from Drake, where you'll find a gravel cut on the south side of the road. A trail sign sits just above the hill from a gate. The third, Glen Haven (#931-2) Trailhead, is located behind the stables at the west end of the community of Glen Haven. Although the Rainbow Trail is shorter, it is steeper and is the least used of the three approaches. At two miles it joins the trail from Glen Haven. The Glen Haven and Garden Gate approaches pass through expansive meadows before they junction at the beginning of the steep ½-mile trail to the summit. The views from Crosier Mountain are beautiful.
