Cougar Saddle

Dogs Off-leash

E-Bikes Unknown

Cougar Saddle is one of those trails that is steep and grueling, but worth the effort at the end. The grade is very steep near the beginning and end, but both are fairly short. Settle in for the challenge and enjoy it.

This trail can be used as part of a bigger loop that includes North Fork Kennally Creek, South Fork Buckhorn Creek, Cougar Creek, and the East Fork Kennally Creek. To accomplish such a big loop does require a little suffering. Plus, once at the top of the ridge you'll look down into a nice lake basin on the South Fork Buckhorn Creek.

There are a couple challenging rock slabs that have some drop offs, so make sure to ride within your ability.
