Trail Overview

McPherson #3324 is a 2.4-mile-long single track that descends from the Highline ATV Trail to McPherson Canyon Road. The entire route is narrow and exposed, traversing dry, low alpine hillsides lined with shrubbery, with scattered mahogany and Douglas fir trees. Most of the trail is relatively smooth, but several moderate rock obstacles are present and become more technical due to the high-consequence exposure. You'll be side-hilling for the entire route, with a few key sections where sliding off the trail could have serious consequences, making it not ideal for newbies or those scared of heights. The grade is semi-steep but consistent, and the southern end widens slightly and flattens out with some loose rock before the trail ends. Overgrown shrubs limit visibility in places, but you get wide open scenic views for much of the trail, overlooking the mountain valleys, and passing a scenic rock outcropping.
