Terror #802 the Forest Service's write-up

season June to

Terror Trail #802 begins at an access point on Forest Service Road 701, Stevens Gulch Road, and ends at Forest Service Road 704, Condemn It Park Road. The trail crosses Electric Mountain in a west to east direction. On the west end it uses an old jeep road that parallels the main Hubbard Creek for 2.5 miles. A sign indicates the point to leave the old road and begin the moderate ascent up Electric Mountain. Great 360 degree views are enjoyed from on top of the mountain. Spruce and aspen trees dominate the landscape. The Terror Creek goes into the heart of some great deer and elk habitat so these animals may be seen at any time. Domestic sheep and some cattle also use the area. The trail on the east side of the mountain is gentle except for the bottom 1/2 mile where there are six switchbacks in 250 vertical feet of elevation change. There is no off road parking space at the east trail entrance.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
