The Rice Historic Trail is a moderate out-and-back route of approximately 4 km return, with an estimated hiking time of two hours. The trail follows an old path once used by prospectors and trappers, leading through lush grassy meadows dotted with small ponds.

It is not a loop — hikers travel 2. 4 km in and retrace their steps back to the trailhead. The access point is located near Jacobson Lake, beginning at the Vuich Trail junction just south of the lake.

Hikers should be aware that the area is grizzly bear country.
