Trail Overview

This short, scenic trail consists mostly of red dirt that can become difficult when wet. Ruts start at 4–5 inches and increase to 8–10 inches farther along. The single-width trail has limited passing space and runs cliffside with views of surrounding mountains and valleys. A campsite near the beginning can accommodate up to three vehicles, and another small, level campsite is located at the end. Around 1.3 miles, a hill climb reaches up to 10 degrees off-camber.
