About
The Little Trappers Trail begins at a junction with the Carhart Trail #1815 [https://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=40759] near the point where Cabin Creek flows into Trappers Lake within Flat Tops Wilderness [http://www.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recarea/?recid=81112]. The trail climbs 100 yards on a gentle slope, and the Chinese Wall becomes visible across an open meadow.
Crossing the meadow, the trail enters an area burned in the 2002 Big Fish Fire and follows Cabin Creek 1 mile to Little Trappers Lake. The trail passes the lake and climbs for 2 miles until it emerges on the Flat Tops Plateau at 11,000'. The trail crosses rolling tundra for 1 mile, then terminates at the Chinese Wall Trail #1803 [http://origin-fs.fs.usda.gov/recarea/whiteriver/recreation/recarea/?recid=40767&actid=51].
