| Brief Trail Description | |
| The Lincoln Mountain Trail is moderately difficult with the almost 400-foot climb to the top. The Palmer Divide Ranch Trail features moderately easy, undulating climbs along rocky, forested cliffs and through open meadows.
Trail Length: From the trailhead, the Lincoln Mountain Trail is 4.2 miles round trip, and the Palmer Divide Ranch Trail is 4.5 miles round trip. The two may be joined together for an 8.3-mile outing. Adding a 2nd loop at the top of Lincoln Mountain brings the hike to 10 miles. 5.4 miles for the first loop and then a lunch break in the parking lot. Second loop is 4.7 miles. Trail Surface: This is a natural surface trail, with some flat caprock footing on the lower Palmer Divide Ranch Loop, and sharper rhyolite rocks emerging on the upper part of the Lincoln Mountain Loop. |
