Trail Overview
This out-and-back route offers a pleasant, gradual drive down a prominent ridgeline situated in the middle of the mountain range. Starting near the high-elevation boundary of the designated wilderness area, the trail meanders along the ridge and eventually terminates at a scenic knoll that serves as an excellent overlook. The route's elevated, exposed nature means drivers and passengers enjoy sweeping, panoramic views throughout the trip. Keep an eye out along the route for a couple of nicely situated, flat areas that make for fantastic, secluded dispersed camping locations. There is abundant evidence of deer activity in the area. The quiet nature of the trail increases the chances of spotting wildlife, so keep your eyes peeled. There is absolutely zero cell phone service on this trail.
