Trail Overview

This is a 1.5-mile spur off of Beaver Creek Canyon Road. It offers a few good vistas over Egan Basin and has a few terrain sections that are slightly challenging, but provide variety and interest to the route. Although this is mostly a smooth and clean trail, it is on a dirt and clay road that quickly becomes goopy and sloppy during rainy and runoff seasons.

Difficulty

The road is quite smooth and easy at the bottom but grows increasingly rugged as it progresses. There are some sections of rock and heavy rutting in other sections. In rainy and runoff seasons, the road base of dirt and clay turns into thick, goopy mud that can quickly become extremely unruly in the right conditions.
