Trail Overview
This trail offers an alternative route around the dry lake bed section of Laguna Hanson Road. It provides a scenic diversion through a picturesque pine forest and is suitable for any high-clearance vehicle in dry conditions. You may encounter sections where trees have fallen across the road, necessitating a primitive detour. Additionally, one or two narrow, low-clearance sections could result in scratches for full-size vehicles. Despite these minor challenges, this trail is a delightful scenic drive, showcasing local wildlife, diverse natural plants, and vibrant flowers. The road ultimately reconnects with the main Laguna Hanson Road.

Difficulty
This trail is easy for any high-clearance vehicle. However, when the lake is this high you need to use caution traversing this side of the lake. In wet conditions or snow, the terrain will be very different than this description.
