| no partners | | I did this trail in March 2008. This was my first time on this trail. The way that I accessed this trail is a 4x4 road that goes through the Seventy Six Ranch. There is a good parking area on the hill above the ranch and a sign-in book before you enter the property. I really loved this hike. My favorite hikes are ones that are really remote and rugged. The Del Shay Trail is about as remote and rugged as they come. This is a very special area with a lot of history. The vertical feet is only 2,100 however the total in & out climbing feet is around 4,100 if you go all the way to the cabin at the top. TR41 is a brutal hike. I did this trail as a long day hike and took roughly 11 hours to complete due to slow route finding. I could probably cut one hour from that now that I have been there and know the way. This hike would make a great overnight backpack trip. There is a lot of water along this trail. Water can be found at Gun Creek and the upper basin below the cabin. The spring at the Del Shay cabin is very strong and runs above ground most of the way down the upper basin. If you like solitude and rugged terrain I would definitely recomend this trail.
