May 4, 2020On the maps it’s called horse mountain, not horsetooth. The Jeep trail is unreliable so make sure you are using way points, cross country travel is pretty easy, minimal bushwhacking. Saw lots of elk deer prints and scat. Very pretty view of soft hills.
April 19, 20204/11/20: Remote. Did not see anyone else on trail. Windy on this day. Hedgehog cacti beginning to bloom. Hiked past green knoll to next overlook via trail. Seems a trip to Horse mountain requires some bushwhacking. Did not attempt on this chilly day. Pretty scenery, IMO. Trail in ok shape, but overgrown with brush in some places. Gravel road to TH in good shape.

First to Reviewjust did to the green knoll a couple miles in (per William Sullivan's 1000 hikes book). not the most amazing picturesque landscape, but quite beautiful in a reserved way. I'm sure later in spring when wildflowers are blooming it's quite nice. for late February though, a great, sunny, isolated/quiet hike.Saw a good amount of hedgehog cactus, though none blooming yet. would consider this at a potential 1 night backpacking trip in March or April.
