	This 5 km trail (one-way) is marked by red paint and flagging. The trail starts with a short climb, thereafter continuing with gentle ups and downs. Along the way there are two short side trails leading to south-aspect viewpoints. The first is the actual summit of Bobtail Mountain. The trail ends at a view point where there is a cabin suitable for day use. There is no water or stove; therefore the cabin is unsuitable for overnight use. The view point provides good views NW towards Norman Lake. For your own safety and the preservation of the park, obey posted signs and keep to designated trails.
