Getting there: In Kamas, turn east towards the mountains on the well-marked Mirror Lake Highway. Drive 6 miles to the fee station, then backtrack 1/4 mile to the parking area for the trail (GPS N 40° 37.552' W 111° 11.224'). You must pay, even if your car isn't parked inside the fee area.  Or you can catch the trail at the second Shingle Creek Campground entrance (GPS N 40° 36.852' W 111° 07.800'). As an out-and-back from the lower trailhead, you'll cover 9.6 miles.
