Trail Overview
This is a lightning-fast, short link designed for efficiency, connecting the main roads in the high-country network. This two-track route runs entirely through the severe 2020 Creek Wildfire burn scar. The road surface is a well-maintained mixture of fast dirt and loose gravel, allowing for quick transit. The panoramic exposure is stunning, but the risk from overhead snags is constant.
