Williams Peak Trailhead

Minor trailhead along County Road 3 in the Williams Fork Valley. The Williams Peak Trail (#26) is 7 miles one way. Begin at the Williams Peak Trailhead. The first 4 miles of the trail is a moderate hike, however the last part is quite steep. The trail crosses private land for about 3 miles, but a right-a-way allows access until hikers reach National Forest again. This trail crosses a substantial parcel of the Henderson Mill property. It crosses many logging and ranch roads, as well as multiple cow trails. Reassurance markers have been placed at these intersections (follow the arrows).
