Trail Overview
This is an easy, short 2.6-mile spur that leads to a scenic access at a spectacular campsite at a rock grouping above Azeala Creek with regional views out over Shaver Lake.

Difficulty
This trail remains firmly accessible to all passenger vehicles when dry, requiring no technical 4WD skill. The 30-minute travel time over 2.6 miles indicates a considered, controlled pace, which is necessary due to the exposed, high-altitude setting and the need to scan for deadfall. High clearance is recommended for comfort and to navigate the scattered rock and loose dirt.
