Length: this is about a 1/2 mile loop. Elevations: 8,370' to 8,560' Robber's Roost Trail is a short hike up through a canyon to a couple of caves. From the caves, the trail winds on through a forest of pinon pines and mountain mahogany before returning to the trailhead. Legend has it that theses caves were used as outlaw hideouts back in the days of the old Mormon Trail. The bandits would rob folks traveling the Mormon Trail between California and Utah and often hide their loot and stolen livestock in these caves. To get to Robber's Roost: turn north on SR 158 from SR 157 and go about 3 miles. The trailhead will be on your left and parking will be on your right. |
