Description
This trail has two main access points: Goodenough Campground on the south side, and Walker Canyon on the north. Goodenough Campground is accessible by any vehicle. It is at the end of a well-maintained gravel road. Walker Canyon is a dirt road, a little rougher, and requires a some clearance. The trail is a nice, wide trail, used for a variety of travel methods, like foot, horses, bikes, and ATVs. There isn't a ton of shade on this trail, so it may be a better choice later in the day during a hot summer evening, when you would have the shade of Scout Mountain to protect you from the heat.
