Trail Overview

This trail is a short, easy out-and-back route that winds through the small elevation changes of the Wet Mountain foothills and offers a good chance of isolation. It contains no major obstacles or water crossings, making it approachable for most users. Ongoing timber work in 2025 has cleared underbrush and created several large debris piles.

Difficulty

This trail features no major rocks, and several sections have been recently graded. Vehicles with a wheelbase over 140 inches may scrape or high-center on a few water diversions, though the route is generally wide enough for passing in most areas. Conditions can become slippery after snowmelt or rain.
