Beginning at the end of Road 1270, the trail starts in an old harvest area and has a short climb before leveling out and entering forest. A fork to the east heads towards Backbone Lake, while the main trail continues climbing north, following Backbone Ridge to Hwy 706 in Mt. Rainier National Park.

This trail is well documented as having been used by the Taidnapam people as they traveled up Mt. Rainier from the Cowlitz Valley. It was mainly used by mountain goat hunters. Goats are often spotted on Backbone Ridge.
