Trail Overview

This is a less often traveled trail close to Burns Canyon and 18. Although there are not any vistas, there are a few points to stop and enjoy the solitude. The section closest to Burns Canyon contains some jagged rocky sections on a grade that might intimidate a novice driver, but a little confidence and route planning makes easy work of it.

Status Reports

This trail is absolutely mis-classified as a "green" right now, as of conditions today. This is mid-to-high blue at least. Long stretches are very rocky, combined with ruts, off camber surfaces and including some inclines. Some parts of the trail are very easy and green, but there are several stretches that are way more challenging. More so than several blue trails in the area we rode on the same day. Only trail more challenging we hit was John Bull (black diamond). (Sorry, no pictures - it was kinda late and we just wanted to get to our trucks!)

One of the few trails around here where you can actually use your SXS. It's fun you can get some speed in the beginning, then it turns into a rocky trail, not difficult would say but fun. to get to the trail, you would have to go to stage area it's about a mile maybe a bit more of dirt road. Most of the others trails are not green sticker legal around here. ONX should get that fixed so we don't lose so much time trying to find a trail we can actually use.

It would be nice if someone would let you know that you gotta drive about a mile in before you can reach the staging area it's misleading on the map. Other than that it's a nice trail.
