Trail Overview

Check out the side roads, and enjoy some fun terrain on this trail in the Roosevelt National Forest. There is a fun little loop off the east side. Watch for gates and signs during hunting season to avoid hefty penalties. There is some camping available along the route. Open June 15 to November 30.

Difficulty

Difficult. One steep rocky section on the way to Storm Mountain gets chewed up at times. Most of the area is easy to moderate. Eastside loop is easier with a few rocky sections.
