The high proportion of deciduous trees makes this trail an especially colorful place in the Fall. There is plenty of wildlife to see at all seasons of the year. Watch for wild turkey, mule deer and elk. There are black bear in the area too, but they are much harder to see. Especially while you are so busy enjoying the scenery.

The rather unique name for this trail comes from a sheepherder who once lived in the area. He was good at clipping his fellow herders as he sheared woolies.Barbershop Trail is one of several trails in the historic Cabin Loop Trail System, which tours several now retired Forest Service cabins in Rim Country.
