Japatul Road

Trail Overview

This trail heads up toward Juniper flats and splits to either Flagpole trail or continues to the flats. The valley views below are pretty great once you ascend to the ridgeline. Once you pass the residential section, the lower section of trail has some heavily rutted and washed-out sections. If you are looking for a challenge, go for them, the trail would be a higher rating if not for higher route bypasses for each of the major washouts. There is an informational kiosk and sign-in, sign-out station near the bottom. The trail is primarily easy 2 bars LTE

Difficulty
