Trail Overview
This is an out and back or should I say up and down trail that takes you from the bottom of the canyon to the top of the Saint John mountain. Trail is single wide with turn outs. Mostly smooth until the last mile or so. There are a lot of water drainage humps and some overgrown vegetation I barely touched. It's mostly a winding shelf road till the top where you drive on the narrow ridge. Trail rating is a 3 but the last few hundred feet to the top could possibly be a 4 but you can easily park and walk. There are a lot of primitive camp areas towards the top and a ton of amazing views. I didn't include them all in the photos so you can see for yourself.
