Britton Peak Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

Notice-As of November 2023, the Jackpot and High Climber trails at Britton Peak are closed until spring. Thank you for your cooperation.

The trail to Britton Peak is possibly the shortest trail to a Sawtooth Mountain overlook on the Forest. It is a quick, though steep, quarter mile hike with a nice scenic view from the top. It is a short deadend branch off the northbound Superior Hiking Trail. The Superior Hiking Trail southbound from the Britton Peak Trailhead includes the deadend Carlton Peak Trail to the summit of Carlton Peak.

This is also the starting point for the Britton Peak singletrack mountain biking trails in the summer, and the Sugarbush crosscountry ski trail system in the winter.

Be aware when either biking or hiking that the mountain bike trails may be used by both bikers and hikers. Hikers should step off the trail and yield to bikers when they meet. Click here for a map of the mountain bike trail system.

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.
