Trail Overview

This is a descending trail down to a very isolated campground with two fire pits. The entire trail is in a rocky narrow drainage, with lots of fallen trees and by the time you are in the descent, there is no where to turn around until you are close to the camp site. The trail is not very difficult, but it is very slow going and there are plenty of narrow tree cuts to thread. Do not attempt this trail without a chainsaw with you. The trail continues far beyond the campsite, but soon afterwards it becomes far less traveled and the plants start to grow over the road, so I would not recommend it unless you prefer the heavy weathered paint look.

Difficulty

Loose rocks, washes, and tight squeezes with a couple 20 degree incline sections which will pull one wheel off the ground. No where to pass pretty much anywhere along the trail.
