Trail Overview

The Electric Speedbump Trail was a mellow way to ease into the last few trails of the day. This trail is wide, with mostly dirt surface. There are sections of washouts, erosion, and water damage that make using this trail as a speed run impossible. There are a few gates, but the real hazard here is the built dirt speed bumps. Presumably added by the power company to bury cables, they are short, steep, and could be used as ramps if you wanted to launch your trusty vehicle into the atmosphere (or test your long travel.) There are wash crossings as well, with short, steep entrances and exits, as well as ledges. This trail has plenty of room to pass and/or turn around, as well as large flat clearings that could be used as camp areas, but with all the surrounding wilderness, I don't know why you'd camp under these humming power lines. Cell service is spotty out here, so it's best to use offline maps to navigate your way.
