Trail Overview

The trail steeply descends a narrow, windy, and rocky path through a dense pine forest towards the South Willow Creek drainage, Potosi Campground, and hot springs. The trail is narrow, windy, and rocky, with almost no opportunities to turn around or pass other vehicles. A saw is recommended for clearing the trail if needed.

Difficulty

The trail is narrow, windy, and rocky with almost no opportunities to turn around or pass other vehicles. The primary obstacles are large rocks 6-24"+ frequently located together with limited drive line choices due to the narrow trail. Tree branches and leaning fallen trees may also be an obstacle depending on vehicle width and height. A saw is recommended for clearing the trail if needed. There may be a few 10' shallow standing water crossings up to 12" deep depending on snow melt and rainfall.

Just as described! Looks as if someone went up and cut the road out. Would love to go up with another rig at some point.

We arrived from the McAllister side. We weren’t intending to hit some crazy 4x4 trails but it just happened. There were about 4-5x that we scraped over rocks. Some muddy slick areas where we slid some. The worst was a very sharp 45° turn where one of my wheels was up in the air. This was the first time that my 15-year-old son has been on a trail like this and I let him have some practice driving on this terrain. He has never been so scared in his life, but he also looks back and said it was one of the funniest things he’s ever done.
