The Great Western (GWT) up Big Mountain is narrow and steep with tight switchbacks - youll gain 800 feet in 1 mile. Near the top, giant ferms grow among maples and aspen.

Trail easy to follow buy getting overgrown east of Sunbird Mine. If traveling by foot doesnt appeal to you, rent a mountain bike for the day. AZT - Mormon Lake is a 22 mile less popular blue singletrack trail located near Flagstaff Arizona.
Did a bike loop from top Tunnel, east and down Cold Spring North, back Gibraltar and up Angostura. The Gibraltar portion from Cold Spring to about 1/2 mile east of Sunbird was really tough going. It is getting very overgrown, the landslides are worse, and parts are now really a slog. There is less poison oak on Gibraltar than lower Cold Spring below Forbush, but you still will be pushing through some nice thickets of the 3 leaf devil.  Given that the Gibraltar trail used to be a road it is still pretty easy to follow, we got sidetracked only once and for less than 5 minutes. Still, i would say my 14 year old and i were riding only 1/3 the time, the rest was spent pushing though brush. Better riders will get more saddle time. Wish this trail was more open as it links so many potential great rides, but its tough going now.Â
