Trail Overview

This loop is really fun to explore, with its side roads and narrow, twisty terrain. There is a great overlook above the Air Force Academy where you can relax and eat lunch. It is also a fun area to camp in, with many different options inside the park's border. You'll pass through some private land, so please be courteous. Unlicensed vehicles are permitted, and there is a staging area at the forest boundary.

Difficulty

Moderate. Roads undulate with banked turns and narrow spots. Marked side roads are steep in places with occasional rocky challenges. Tippy spot on F.S. 311A gets your attention.

First half of trail had been recently graded. Timber company cutting out many old trees. The other half has some serious washouts, with one area we squeezed byy a bolder,but the edge was washed out, if not careful, if could be a long fall. Overall fun trail. Would not recommend car on this trail.

Trail blocked by a grater. Could only go a little ways farther than the split from the forest service road

Very fun trail it’s a little confusing to get there because you cross through private property. Would not recommend full size truck, it was possible but in some spots I only had a couple inches of clearance between trees and rocks

This is a fun trail. This was a great trail to test my technical skills as a beginner and get to know my new 4Runner. The conditions were perfect. I went counter clock wise. Toward the top of the loop gets really fun and challenging. My Pro stock easily handled the technical part. I chose my lines very carefully and went really slow. There were several spot where i have engage diff locks. I had a blast on this trail.
