South trailhead is at 10,320 feet at the end of Forest Road #041 at the headwaters of Lowder Creek. North trailhead is at 8,800 feet on Forest Road #048, 1/4-mile northwest of where FR #048 crosses Center Creek, and 1/2 mile east of the Hendrickson Lake Trailhead.

DESCRIPTION:

From Lowder Creek this trail meanders uphill through spruce, fir and aspen stands into large alpine meadows to the divide between the Sevier River and Parowan drainages near Brian Head Peak. Spectacular views into Parowan Valley can be seen at the summit.
The trail then begins to descend off the rim through large rockslides into more alpine meadows, passing by Cub Lake and into a sea of Forest green crossing several springs and small openings. Near Paradise Spring the Hendrickson Lake Trail #049 comes into this trail. Hikers have their choice of which route they want to take. The Hendrickson Trail is slightly longer and steeper.
