Trail Overview
Beginning at Trail Gulch Road, this short out-and-back route provides easy access to several dispersed campsites tucked among the pines, sagebrush, and low shrubs. The trail features a handful of gentle climbs and occasional rutted sections, but none are particularly steep or technical, making this an excellent option for most high-clearance vehicles. The route winds through scenic high-desert terrain, offering a relaxing drive with camp opportunities, exploration, or simply enjoying a peaceful outing. Whether you’re looking for a convenient overnight campsite or an easy scenic drive, this trail delivers a pleasant and accessible off-road experience.
Difficulty
While this trail is generally considered easy, there are a few sections where off-camber ruts cross the trail on short climbs, requiring careful tire placement and attention from the driver. Some full-size 4WD vehicles can complete the route, but expect some tight areas with low-hanging branches and closely spaced trees that may result in pinstriping. This difficulty rating reflects dry summer conditions. Following rain or other wet weather, traction can be significantly reduced, increasing the overall difficulty of the route.
