Trail Overview

This is one of the more user-friendly trails in Johnson Valley. However, there are many bonus lines to keep even the biggest rigs occupied. Many of the obstacles have bypass lines, so even a smaller rig can make it with some time and some rock stacking. There are many different routes up the canyon and once you are to the top, expect a steep loose trail back down the other side. If you are on the trail at night during the King of the Hammers event, the view of Hammertown is pretty good!
