This is one of several trails used to travel around the Mount Logan and Hell's Hole area of the Grand Canyon-Parashant National Monument. Nixon South Road is used to reach Mount Logan Road BLM 1064 to access the hiking trailhead. The trail cuts across pine forests and scrub prairie and is mostly single-track. The southern portion of Nixon South Road (south of Mount Logan Road) is fairly overgrown and you can expect to get pinstriping traveling this section.

Any trail heading east from this area enters the private property of the Arkansas Ranch. There is no water, gas, food, lodging, Wi-Fi, or cell service. Visitors should be advised that towing charges in the event of vehicles becoming stuck or damaged are in the region of $3,000. Areas above 5,000 feet may not be accessible in winter months due to mud and snow.
