High Peak Road - FS 31050

This narrow 3-mile route starts near the end of Leviathan Road by the mine and climbs more than 700 feet. The trail is tight and overgrown in spots, with low-hanging branches and brush crowding the edges. It is made of hard-packed dirt and is barely wide enough for a single vehicle. From the start, the trail runs along a narrow shelf road just above the creek. The shoulders can be soft, and there are several hidden washouts, so pay close attention. After about three-quarters of a mile, the road pulls away from the creek for a short stretch before returning to higher ground, which feels less exposed. As the climb continues, the trail becomes rockier, with more off-camber sections and articulation points. Expect a mix of water holes, whoops, and uneven terrain. This trail is fun and rewarding, but it is not suited for wide vehicles.
