Trail Overview

This road offers a smooth drive beneath a canopy of pines, with pockets of cell service along the way. Occasional road splits provide room for two vehicles. Scenic forest views, quiet campsites, and a tranquil cul-de-sac at the end--framed by boulders, pines, and a wide-open meadow view makes this route a gem.

Lots of deep mud puddles but there were paths around a few of them. It was fun to explore around the Holcomb valley pinnacles.
