Just deer out there right now. The trail is fun and easy. lots of dispersed camping locations. I have AT&T and never lost signal for Spotify and onx OR. Rock sliders are not needed but a lift will help on the woops.

Access Description

It is easiest to start at the Tarryall Reservoir and head south where there are signs indicating the splits for Paige, Windy, Packer, and Schoolmarm. If coming from the South of US 24, head North on San Juan Road through the neighborhood until you see the USFS access signs.
