Much of it is along the interface between the high desert of the northwestern Great Basin and the Cascade Mountains. Numerous mountain peaks and distant panoramas are found along the edge of the route. The trail also travels for 30 miles along the edge of a 2000' high fault block on Winter Rim. Open Ponderosa Pine forests and outstanding scenery are found throughout this trail. A six-mile gap in this trail will be finished in 2002.
