Hiking The Trail
The parking area for hikers is northeast of the U.S. border inspection building. The sign for the trail head is northwest of the U.S. border inspection building, and the trail begins just to its right (east). The trail has no cell phone coverage, requires some non-technical climbing, and starts at a good elevation, so one should be prepared even in summer.

Famous quotes containing the words hiking and/or trail:
“The westerner, normally, walks to get somewhere that he cannot get in an automobile or on horseback. Hiking for its own sake, for the sheer animal pleasure of good condition and brisk exercise, is not an easy thing for him to comprehend.”
—State of Utah, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“And Change with hurried hand has swept these scenes:
The woods have fallen, across the meadow-lot
The hunter’s trail and trap-path is forgot,
And fire has drunk the swamps of evergreens;
Yet for a moment let my fancy plant
These autumn hills again: the wild dove’s haunt,
The wild deer’s walk: in golden umbrage shut,”
—Frederick Goddard Tuckerman (1821–1873)
