3 Ways to Experience the High Pines Trail
Whether you’re looking for a workout or a more relaxed adventure, there are three great ways to explore the High Pines Trail.
Option 1: Hike Out & Back
Take on the full hiking experience with a 4-mile out-and-back adventure featuring approximately 850 feet of elevation gain. This option lets you experience the trail at your own pace while enjoying the mountain scenery both ways.
Option 2: Hike Up & Ride the Chairlift Down
Earn your views with an uphill hike, then enjoy a relaxing ride back to the base aboard the Bristlecone Skyway. It’s the perfect option for those looking to challenge themselves without hiking back down.
Pro Tip: Book your Bristlecone Skyway ticket early for lowest prices.
Option 3: Ride the Chairlift Up & Hike Down
Skip the climb and start your adventure at the summit. Take the Bristlecone Skyway to the top, then enjoy a scenic downhill hike back to the base. This is the easiest way to experience the trail and is a great option for families, casual hikers, and anyone looking to maximize the views while minimizing the effort.
Pro Tip: Book your Bristlecone Skyway ticket early for lowest prices.
