If you’re contrarian by nature, you’ll appreciate the Paul Peak Trail, which flouts convention at every turn. Instead of climbing from the start, it drops into a lush forest. And instead of topping out at some show-stopping panorama, it ends unceremoniously, 3.1 miles from the start, at its junction with the Wonderland Trail. Indeed, Paul Peak Trail never climbs its namesake, skirting its flank instead.
