The 6.9-mile (11.1 km) loop Hotel Creek Trail has a steep incline. The trail was burned over during the 2015 Rough Fire but is recovering. It climbs through a ponderosa pine forest to views of Monarch Divide and other peaks. Parking is limited at the trailhead. Alternative parking is available at Cedar Grove Lodge, which adds 0.5 miles (0.8 km) to the trip.
