Trail Overview

This very rocky one-lane forest road leads up and over Skinner Ridge in the Kaibab National Forest. If you take this trail from a North-to-South direction, you'll encounter a long gentle downgrade that weaves down the ridge through the Ponderosa and Pinon Pine. Along your way, you might encounter cattle grazing, elk, and the beautiful destruction of a large pine recently struck by lightning. You'll encounter no obstacles over 12" on this trail with some mud ruts and rocks along the way.

Difficulty

Mud ruts and rocky sections could prove challenging after a rain or snowstorm.
