West Ten Mile Uphill Map

This is one of Copper’s designated daytime uphill routes. It begins from West Village and goes up Roundabout to West Ten Mile, both of which are beginner trails. This route could make a convenient uphill training lap from West Village, but it’s primarily intended for backcountry users to head toward Janet’s Cabin. There’s a gate along the upper part of Roundabout that leaves the resort for the national forest and a trail up Guller Creek.

Description

Copper allows uphill travel on this and a handful of other designated routes during operating hours. An uphill armband is required for access. Find out more information and how to get a pass on Copper’s uphill access page.
