This pleasant hike or snowshoe begins from a small pullout on the uphill side of Boreas Pass Road on the edge of the neighborhood. This is the Boreas Pass winter trailhead. From here the trail leads up and down, but mostly up, through conifer forest and a series of mountain meadows. Wildflowers are beautiful in early summer, colored foliage in fall, and you may see wildlife year round. Vistas are limited most of the way by trees, but occasional gaps give a glimpse over the valley.
