Trail Overview

This trail leads to the Winter Cabin trailhead, providing access for hikes into the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness. It begins as an easy but rutted dirt road that is mostly smooth and not very rocky, though large puddles can form after rain or snow. There are typically drive-arounds for the bigger water-filled sections. About half a mile in, the road becomes rockier and bumpier, adding a bit more texture to the drive. Several dispersed camp spots are located along the route, and the trail ends at a small parking area with a Forest Service sign at the trailhead.
