Trail Overview
Note: After marker 39, the trail is only accessible from December 31 to March 31. It's a fairly easy trail depending on snowfall that most 4x4s will be able to do; the more snow, the harder it will be. You will be greeted with some absolutely beautiful scenery, water crossings, and a frozen waterfall in the winter months. It's recommended that you travel with another vehicle due to unpredictable weather and snowfall. In years with heavier snowfall, it is very possible to become stuck. Take caution on the hill leading down to the valley and coming back up. On this route, you will travel down Ghost Valley Road, which leads to Ghost River Trail and then the falls at marker 39.

Difficulty
Be prepared for icy water crossings, water crossings around a foot deep, and a steep hill in and out of the valley.
