Trail Overview

This is a scenic, single-lane, high-elevation road characterized by rough embedded rock sections that demand slow, careful driving. The route travels through a dense, unburned subalpine forest with heavy tree cover. This road is an access point for numerous dispersed campsites and connects to the adjacent Iron Lakes 4x4 and hiking trails.

Difficulty

The primary difficulty on this trail is caused by rough embedded rock sections that require slow travel to navigate comfortably (as reflected in the 30-minute drive time). No technical 4WD is necessary, but the surface is rougher than a standard graded road.
