Dead Horse Rim Trail: This trail accesses the road-less country found in the vicinity of Dead Horse Rim. It also accesses Dead Cow Trail, and the Lakes Trail system. It travels through and along a large upland meadow near the Lee Thomas Trailhead and then ascends Dead Horse Rim through stands of lodge pole pines and mature mixed conifers. As it runs along the spine of Dead Horse Rim scenic vistas of the Dead Horse Creek drainage and the surrounding country are offered. The trail currently dead ends on its southern end at the National Forest boundary, but plans are in the works to rectify this situation.
Dead Cow Trail: This trail provides a loop trail opportunity of about 6 miles in length from Dead Horse Lake down the Dead Cow Creek drainage then via the Dead Horse Rim Trail and Lakes Trail back to Dead Horse Lake. The Dead Cow drainage contains an abundance of wild flowers during the spring and early summer. This is an interesting day-hike loop opportunity passing through a variety of high elevation environments.

Addition Information on Trails:
This trail system offers a variety of interconnected loops of various lengths between Campbell and Dead Horse Lakes. There is a lower trail and an upper trail and they are connected at their eastern and western ends as well as by an intertie trail approximately in the middle of their reaches. This arrangement offers users loop trips from five to nine miles long. The Lakes Loop system is also connected to the Dead Cow Trail #141, the Dead Horse Rim Trail #139 and the Cache Cabin Trail # 148 providing approximately 24 miles of trails in this area for Forest visitors.

Scenic vistas of the lakes and the surrounding country are found throughout this system, but particularly from the heights of Campbell and Dead Horse Rims. On a clear day the distant views from these lofty viewpoints are spectacular and limited only by the curvature of the Earth. The upper Lakes Loop Trail and Dead Horse Rim Trail also access one of the largest stands of sub-alpine white-bark pine in the Pacific Northwest. The trail is well signed at all junctions and has vertically aligned rectangular blazes for reassurance markers.
