From Junction to Picklejar? Is your horse named Pegasus?

Hwy 40 main hiking trail to Picklejar, no problem. Watch out for the road apples ahead of you....

X2! I actually prefer the horse trail to the other one even on foot but yes, you are allowed.

There is a pass that goes from junction to pickle jars, but I don't think horses would make it. But ive seen crazier things. But definitely accesible by foot over the pass.

Think it's more of a mountaineering exercise, according to the guide books. Definitely not Horse.

From what I remember there is some serious boulder fields and scree slopes higher up. Not sure if there is a different horse trail from the hiking trail.
