Mailbox Peak Old Trail

The Mailbox Peak Old Trail is legendary. It’s steep the whole way, it’s a challenge for even the most experienced hiker, and the views from the top are spectacular. At the summit, there’s a Mailbox with a book where you can leave your name on the list of those who’ve conquered this mighty trail. If you’d like to summit Mailbox Peak, but the old trail sounds a bit too intense, there’s also The New Trail. The New Trail covers the same ridge but uses large switchbacks to dramatically reduce the average gradient.
