About this place

The Britton Peak Trailhead is a multi-use trailhead including year-round opportunities. In the snow free months the trailhead is popular for hiking and single track mountain biking and during the winter this is a popular trailhead for cross country skiing. The trail to Britton Peak is possibly the shortest trail to a Sawtooth Mountain overlook on the Forest. It is a quick, though steep, quarter mile hike with a nice scenic view from the top. It is a short dead-end branch off the northbound Superior Hiking Trail. The Superior Hiking Trail southbound from the Britton Peak Trailhead includes the dead-end Carlton Peak Trail to the summit of Carlton Peak. Be aware when either biking or hiking that the mountain bike trails may be used by both bikers and hikers. Hikers should step off the trail and yield to bikers when they meet. From Tofte- Take Sawbill Trail (CR 2) for 2.6 miles. The trailhead is on the right side of the road.
