Description
Fantastic trail, excellent views four miles past where the narrows start (where gravel starts) on Wolverine Rd. or two miles past 40 Horse Cave (worth checking out!). The trailhead can be found 20 yards up the road at the gate. The first part of trail is on private land and is permitted thanks to Fish and Games program Access Yes.
