Trail Overview
Church Creek Spur - FS 28-004 is accessed directly from Church Creek Road. The trail begins with a manageable Level 2 difficulty, but the loose rocks become progressively larger as you continue. About halfway through, drivers will encounter several off-camber sections and a partially cleared cluster of downed trees that can likely be crossed with a little bit of work. The trail is well forested and the final quarter offers nice views of the surrounding mountains. Overall, expect two steep climbs—each approximately 100 feet long—covered in loose rock. The unmaintained surface is mostly packed dirt mixed with varying sizes of loose rock. The trail terminates at several large dispersed campsites, though there are no other major points of interest.
