Trail Overview

This trail starts right near the Deer Creek staging area, behind a gate that gets closed for seasonal use. It starts off pretty easy, being a decently wide single track, weaving between tons of cut logs, with lots of loose rock. The grade is pretty gradual as it parallels a ravine and winds through the dry pine forest. There are a lot of dry and sun-exposed sections with sharp, bony, small rocks. Expect the trail to be very dusty. A lot of this trail is fun and flowy, on smooth dirt, weaving through the scrub oaks, with small dips into ravines, and fast straight sections. This trail accesses a lot of short spurs that are super close to the staging area. A lot of them had logs down, but they make several short loops, so you can do some exploring while close to camp. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 - 4/14 to motorized use.

The Crandall OHV Parking and Camping Area has several primitive camp spots with picnic tables. All of the trails are open from April 15 to December 15, but it gets really hot and dry in the summer here, so the best times to visit are spring and fall.
