The trailhead is the Pass Lake Trailhead off the Mirror Lake highway. This is at mile post 32.1, which is 32.1 miles from Kamas Utah on highway 150, or about 45 miles south of Evanston Wyoming on highway 150. The Mirror Lake highway is closed from late fall to about Memorial Day. The trail would likely be very snowy until late June in most years.

The trailhead has a pit toilet and a large parking area a short distance off the Mirror Lake Highway. If full, there is overflow parking along the highway.

From the trailhead, be sure to follow the trail on the south end of the parking lot, signed Cuberant Lake. Within a short distance, two spur trails leave on the left to go to the highway. Stay right at these minor junction. At 0.3 miles (5-10 minutes from the trailhead) a junction is reached with the left going to Holiday Park. Stay right toward Cuberant Lake. The trail meanders through Reids Meadow with Bald Peak visible to the south on the left and Reids Peak on the right.

The trail then heads north and begins climbing modestly to the Cuberant Lake junction. Stay right here, reaching Kamas Lake 0.4 miles after the Cuberant Junction(15 minutes). Tucked at about treeline, Kamas Lake is cliff-walled and has several excellent campsites on the south and west shores.

From Kamas Lake, the trail continues climbing to the ridge with views down into Cutthroat Lake, and the North Slope of the Uintas. An overlook here makes for a great lunch spot, before continuing up to Lofty Lake.

A short climb from Lofty Lake on the trail reaches the ridge and the start of the descent back to the trailhead. The trail reaches one final junction at Scout Lake. Go right. The trail crosses a dirt road, then begins descending back to the trailhead.
