Trail Overview

This is one of only a few ATV options in the Mount Hough Trail System. It starts near the Mount Hough Trailhead on the north end at a marked entrance, and descends down several wide and gradual switchbacks. The trail is narrow and primitive, with not many tracks, and it doesn't look very ridden by ATVs. It goes over minor embedded rock surfaces and loose rock, but is mostly smooth, with some overgrown grass. It goes through an old burn area, so there's potential for downed logs, but the trail was clear of any downfall at the time. The southern half of the trail follows what looks like used to be an old shelf road, being wide and flat. After 2.3 miles and 700 feet of elevation loss, it ends on 25N73B on the south end.
