Trail Overview
This trail is a well-maintained gravel road that winds gently through a scenic section of forest. While mostly smooth, it does have a few bumpy sections that may require slower travel. The trail is generally wide enough for two vehicles to pass, offering a pleasant drive, especially in July when wildflowers bloom along the shoulders. The forest canopy provides intermittent shade, and the route has a peaceful, lightly traveled feel. One overgrown spur trail branches off from the main route and crosses a section of exposed rock before becoming impassable to most vehicles. Farther along the main trail, another narrow track leads into the woods, and beside it is a larger clearing that can be used for parking. There are no formal campsites or developed facilities along this trail. Travelers will not find toilets, trash services, or potable water sources, and cell coverage may be intermittent or nonexistent.
