Trail Overview
This scenic route begins at the bottom of a valley on a faint two-track that winds through open grasslands before climbing toward the surrounding hills. While most of the trail is straightforward, there are two or three steeper sections where 4WD is recommended. The route then passes through a small pine-filled canyon, offering a peaceful and scenic drive with excellent views along the way. There are a few narrow sections that require careful vehicle placement, as well as a single dispersed campsite located directly on the route, making it a great destination for a picnic or overnight stay. The trail eventually connects with another BLM route that continues through the canyon and descends back to the main road, where additional camping opportunities can be found nearby.
Difficulty
While this trail is not particularly difficult in dry conditions, 4WD is recommended for a couple of the steeper climbs. Drivers should also be prepared for sections of loose rock and a few larger embedded rocks that require careful tire placement. With proper clearance and traction, these obstacles are manageable and should not present significant challenges under favorable conditions.
