Trail Overview

Make your way up the side of this mountain on varied terrain. You'll see trees and a few glimpses of the valley below. End of the trail is an easy route passing some cool old farm structures. There are other backroads in the area. Most allow Unlicensed ATVs and UTVs.

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.

Water filled holes, some mud, ruts, rocks on the downhill west side. Challenging descent. Bear scat on the road. Wildflowers popping.

Lots of mud holes, up to six inches deep which were passable but some were a little gnarly. A few washouts on half of the trail making for an uneven and technical ride in some spots. If drier it would have been much easier, however, this was definitely NOT an “easy” trail today.

Only like 3 muddy spots, dry otherwise. Downed tree on a switchback sticks into road but was able to get around.

Muddy/Wet

Lots of mud puddles, some pretty big, there were some rocky sections of road and some very narrow sections. The key for me was the climb and the super narrow shelf sections. We drove it mostly clear but occasional rain and hail.

Downed Tree

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.
