Trail Overview

This trail features a gentle hill climb with a steady incline, making it an easy and approachable route for most vehicles. The path is lined with brush and low-hanging branches in certain sections, so drivers should be prepared for possible pinstriping, especially with wider rigs. Despite the overgrowth, the trail surface itself is smooth and free of major obstacles or technical features to navigate. It serves primarily as a connector, guiding you toward several other trails within the area, making it a great transitional route for continued exploration.
