Trail Overview

This route connects Clinetop Road with Burnt Mountain Road, providing an easier alternative for reaching the latter trail. Along the way, travelers are treated to beautiful views of sweeping mountain meadows as the road weaves in and out of the treeline. While there are no significant obstacles or technical challenges, the trail is consistently rough and uneven, making for a somewhat bumpy ride from start to finish. Despite the rough surface, the scenery makes this a worthwhile connector route for those exploring the area.

I wouldnt call this a 2/10. Did it in a stock sr5 4runner and it was fairly stressful, but im not the most experienced offroader. Probably more like a 4/10 due to the amount of rocks and ruts. That being said this valley is unbelievably beutiful and blew my mind. Will be coming back again.
