Sweetwater #1854

The Sweetwater trail begins at the Hilltop Trailhead near Sweetwater Lake and ends at Coffee Pot Road #600. This fairly level, easy-to-follow trail follows the north rim of Sweetwater Canyon, beginning as a slight uphill grade through scrub oak and sagebrush and entering aspen interspersed with grassy meadows at about 2 miles, followed by aspen and fir forest. This trail offers beautiful views of the snow-capped peaks of the Sawach Range, Sweetwater Lake and Canyon, and the high cliffs of the Flat Tops. * There is a printable Recreation Quicksheet for this trail [../../../../../../../../../../Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/stelprdb5186395.pdf] which is complete with directions, a map, details, and other information about this trail.
