Trail Overview

This is a less often traveled trail close to Burns Canyon and 18. Although there are not any vistas, there are a few points to stop and enjoy the solitude. The section closest to Burns Canyon contains some jagged rocky sections on a grade that might intimidate a novice driver, but a little confidence and route planning makes easy work of it.

This trail was rated EASY which should suffice for a Subaru Outback. IT WAS NOT EASY! We came off of 2N02 which was rated moderate and 3N03 is way more difficult with sections of full rock climbs. I would say only thr last 2-3 miles before HWY 18 is the only easy spot.
