Trail Overview

As with all the trails in Johnson Valley, the rocks keep on moving. There are plenty of obstacles on this trail to keep you busy for a while. There are plenty of optional lines in this canyon making fun for even the biggest of rigs. When attempting this trail remember how far away from camp you are and be prepared as it gets its name from a couple of folks trying to stay warm while they were broke down. The rocks are pretty big but there are plenty of small ones if you need to stack a road to get your rig over something.
