Trail Overview
Harker Valley is a wide gravel trail that offers a scenic drive through dense forest, but it is heavily rutted with deep potholes, often hidden in the shade. Drivers are advised to proceed slowly to protect their tires and suspension. Along the route are at least two established dispersed campsites complete with fire rings, and several smaller trails branch off into the surrounding forest, potentially providing additional camping opportunities. However, travelers should know that the area lacks amenities such as trash disposal and water supply, and cell service is limited throughout the trail.
