Trail Overview

This road is easy but rocky and narrow in some places. The west end of the road can get muddy after wet weather for the first couple of miles and can be challenging. After that, you will cross Grape Creek on a bridge, and then you will go up a series of switchback turns climbing to the top of the canyon. Next, you will travel downhill toward Canon City.

Great cross trail. A few pebbles here and there. A couple of spots to give your vertigo a little exercise. Excellent views
