Trail Overview
From the Sand Gulch Trailhead, the road starts out easy for the first mile then turns rocky with larger rocks and ruts. In winter time it is best to travel from Sand Gulch Trailhead to the banks which is the north end. There are steep hills on the northern slopes that you can make it down in the snow but would be hard trying to go up. Cell phone coverage most of the way. Lots of dispersed camping along the way.
Difficulty
The trail is rocky with some larger obstacles. If you like to rock crawl over medium size rocks this is a good place. Watch for places to pull over as the trail has some stretches where it is too narrow to pass oncoming vehicles.
