Difficulty

Moderate. Very easy most of the way, except between Wpts. 03 and 04. Here the trail becomes a narrow shelf road that we rate as moderate. Suitable for stock, high-clearance SUVs.

We were cruising until and Aspen blocked the route. We didn't have our chainsaw with to clear the way so we wandered around other roads for a bit and headed back out.
