Trail Overview
This gravel and sand road is accessible from two entrances along Sherwin Creek Road, near the Highway 395 corridor. The trail winds through dense sagebrush and high desert flora, making it a scenic yet slightly overgrown drive. About halfway through the trail, you’ll encounter a mysterious paved circle—its purpose and history are currently unknown, adding a quirky and unexpected landmark to the route. After the circle, the terrain becomes noticeably rockier. Low-clearance vehicles will have difficulty in this section; high clearance is highly recommended. The road remains single-vehicle wide throughout. The route offers great views of the Laurel Lakes Trail as it snakes up the Sherwin Range toward Laurel Mountain, giving you a nice visual preview if you're planning to tackle that climb.
