Trail Overview

This trail runs along a creek bed, so that you will get different water depths depending on the time of the year. The deepest you get is at the beaver damn at the end, which this track bypassed. The trail is narrow! You will get pinstripes from the brush in the creek bed. That being said, it is a fun trail to do at least once. I recommend using SXS or a 2-4-door Jeep or something similar in size. 4 Low is helpful due to the rocks you drive over in the creek bed. There are camping areas at the beginning of the trail. You access this trail off Silver City Road. You turn east at the only creek crossing at the bottom of the canyon.

Super easy drive, crowded at times, be mindful of other vehicles and drivers who may be reckless.
