TRAILHEADS
Mystic Lake Trailhead
There are two popular starting points for Granite Peak: the Phantom Creek Trailhead from
the East Rosebud drainage and the Mystic Lake Trailhead from the West Rosebud
Drainage. Both can be used to access the Froze To Death Plateau.
Phantom Creek Trailhead
The Mystic Lake trail overlooks Mystic Lake. It's a very good trail up to the ridge line. This large rock cairn means you're
near the top.

the Slough Lakes
This is near the ridge with the snow bank barely
visible from below as seen in the photograph to
the right at the low point in the ridge.
This is looking east at the Froze to Death ridge. The
big snowbank near where the Phantom Creek Trail
tops out is visible in the middle of the photograph.
This is a late afternoon (long shadows) photo
looking south from near the top of the ridge
as we're about to descend the Phantom
Creek Trail.
