Trail Overview

The trail starts right off the Forest Service road. The first half of the trail is smooth, flowy, simple - an easy 3. After the halfway point, the trail starts to climb north. If you try to follow it south, you will get stuck and have a very difficult time getting back out. This is the point where the trail starts to get significantly more technical. It starts climbing out of the canyon, and the terrain is very loose and rocky. The trail can be quite overgrown in spots, and there is some deadfall. You can continue through and rejoin the main Forest Service road at the top of the trail. Overall, this is a nice spot to hit while out exploring the main road.

Difficulty

The first half of the trail is very easy, but after the halfway point, you start to climb out of the canyon, and this is where it starts to get technical. Loose, rocky soil and steep climbs with some rock ledges. It is easy to turn around at the halfway point if the climb out looks too daunting.
