Trail Overview

This is a two way trail that majority of it can only fit one vehicle, but has multiple areas to pull off for passing. The trails are all marked with numbers and signs. The beginning of the trail is rocky / dirt road with undulations and obstacles that are not difficult. After that the trail transitions into a narrow sandy and rocky creek bed with multiple large rocks protruding into the trail. There are some off camber areas as well. After the creek bed there are switch backs leading up the side of the mountain that are very rocky with big drop offs on the side. The switch backs have multiple pull off areas that provide views of the surrounding mountain ranges. The top of the mountain is faster / smoother trails with isolated areas of rocky sections and one ledge / obstacle that has a bypass route. The end of the trail leads to a rocky out crop point on the top of the mountain that overlooks the areas surrounding. In the spring there is small areas of mud and snow spots. The summer and fall it is mostly dry. Cellular service is spotty in areas, but majority of the area has no service. The closest town would be the area of the Royal Gorge and then Canon City, CO.

5 is probably way underestimated with current conditions and erosion. had to make a turn around as I didn't feel comfortable continuing in a 4x4 offroad truck.

narrow and bumpy...we actually aired down just to be more comfortable, not many trees for shade, the side trails are probably fun to loop out on, but the road is an out and back. Dirt bike and quads have lots of options and it's very close to Canyon City

We were going to make the loop bu turning left at the end of the trail, but its closed to 4x4 vehicles both directions, so its an out and back Nice trail, a few technical sections, including a downhill washout toward the end that you are going to have to make some difficult choices. I stuck to the wall and straddled it on the way down, but to get back up, had to put the tires in the washout and it was really close to the wall and 22-24 degrees of roll. Concerned about dropping in the ditch unintentionally and rolling it. Your mileage may vary. Very few campers, this is a nice place to spend the night and super dark.
