Granite Burn is a short, steep trail that climbs 2000 feet above the town of Granite to the edge of the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness. This trail ends at a small Hayden Gulch hiking trail parking area.
There are no notable obstacles on this trail; however, several steep sections reach a maximum of 15 degrees incline. The last third of this trail also has limited passing spots for opposing traffic, so look ahead and keep track of any spots suitable for passing.
Camping is limited to about three small spots on this trail.
