Sauerkraut Wall

Trail of the Week

One of the newest hiking trails in the Lincoln Ranger District, the Sauerkraut Wall Trail consists of a series of switchbacks down the side of a narrow valley to Sauerkraut Creek. Follow the trail as it cuts downward through a conifer and aspen forest, with several open meadows. Spot prairie-fire or paintbrush, Bear Grass, and Lupine as you hear birds serenading you from the trees. The trail ends at Sauerkraut Creek, where a small footbridge leads across the stream to a campsite on the other side. Cross the bridge and cut through the campsite to an old logging road and follow it south past an abandoned cabin, to see the wall bordering the nearside of the stream.
