It is a popular summer tourist attraction and is especially noted for colourful alpine meadows.

Then it continues at an easier grade, ascending 170 m (558 ft) to the beginning of the Caribou Meadows.

The trail meanders through the meadows, along the west shore of Fight Lake, then climbs to the top of Fiftytwo Ridge.

Beyond there, it is a hiking route through meadows and rock which first descends into Bull Valley, then climbs onto Battle Mountain itself.

The hiking season on Battle Mountain is from late June through September.
