ACCESS: The Redfish Trailhead is very popular and serves many trails. Do not park in no parking zones. Please do not park off the side of the road in the sagebrush or other vegetation, it destroys the delicate alpine habitat.
Please don’t cut switchbacks! It causes erosion, destroys vegetation, and ruins the trail. This trail has switchbacks, please use them!
Most of our trailheads do not have trash facilities. Please be prepared to pack out all of your trash from the trail and trailhead.

This hike requires a boat shuttle to take you from Redfish Lodge to the Inlet Trailhead. Hike up the Redfish Canyon to some massive boulders that fell off of Mt. Heyburn. Some of the rocks are the size of a house! Explore around and underneath them. This hike has a more gradual incline/grade than most of the hikes in the Sawtooths. Enjoy spectacular views of the Redfish Canyon.
