Skip The Stairs – New Badger Mountain Trail Opens!
You can skip the stairs at Badger Mountain with a newly completed trail thanks to the community group Friends Of Badger Mountain
A new section of trail on Badger Mountain gives hikers more options, including letting them bypass the stairs.
It's a new 1,400 foot section built by volunteers that allow you to bypass the uneven rock steps.
The newer trail offers an extra loop for those hikers that enjoy the Canyon Trail as well.
You can check out more details on the new trail here
