Trail Overview

Alexander Mountain, or Forest Service Road 1703, runs between Locke, on the southwest end near Devil's Canyon, to Hurricane Creek Rd, near White Rock on the northeast end. It can be run either direction. This trail offers beautiful scenery with a mix of challenging and easy trail sections. The road at the top of the mountain is easy with very little difficulty, while the most challenging portion of this trail will be the climb/decent between Hurricane Creek and the top of Alexander Mtn, including the creek crossing. There are a few large camping spots on the top of the mountain and some smaller spots near the creek.

The climb from Hurricane Creek to the top of Alexander Mountain is rutted, with loose rocks and off-camber sections. Also, the water crossing at Hurricane Creek can range from 18-24" deep or more depending on the time of year.

Tree down, but pass able at the start. Once passed smooth sailing ahead. You come into a steep down climb with some fun rock problems. Some fun tight turns, mud holes and a light water crossing. Fantastic first trail in AR.

Been traveling this trail for the last 3 years and is still In similar condition. This is my favorite trail, starting from the bottom of the mountain and heading up towards the white rock lookout. Highly recommend!

A little bit more difficult than I expected but did just fine with a spotter and made it out without a scratch

Trail was more challenging than I expected but, made it through just fine in a lifted WJ with limited slip diffs.

The water crossing level is low this time. No fire was spotted around.

Ran the trail from the west and up. The climb was pretty challenging but surprisingly I rever needed the winch. Lockers would have been nice but if you know how to use your limited slip it is enough. I imagine running from the East down would probably be easier but it is a good trail for just about any experience level. Seasoned folks will have a good time, noobies will learn a new respect for their rigs!

Ran this west to east. It was storming pretty hard but this trail really isn’t that bad. It may look a little intimidating to new off-roaders at the climb after the creek crossing. Just take your time and pick good lines. This is a very fun trail.

We went north to south, and at first there were a few miles of gravel that weren't very exciting, then it all changed once we started descending the mountain. Lots of large rocks and tricky spots, got a new scuff on our wheels, but it was lots of fun! We opted to go around the long way to get back to White Rock Mountain though.
