WHITE ROCK (318) - 367 Loop
Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced Exertion Level: Moderate to Difficult in spots
Some people love it, some hate it, all probably agree this is the local classic of classics. Starting at the Thumb Butte parking area, this trail starts at the 316 trailhead. Shortly after you get rolling you connect with 318 and the ascent begins. Keep your momentum and push over the rocks, steps and ledges to the top of the first climb. A short drop takes you through rollig terrain to the second switchbacked climb. The final drop brings you to the intersection of 318 and 332. Continue on 318 up the gully and to the end of the trail at Thumb Butte Road.
On the return, you can retrace your path to 332 or take Thumb Butte road downhill a few hundred feet to the start of 367. Follow 367 through the tight, technical rock sections to the parking area.
