Campbell & Smith Creek Jeep Trail

Trail Overview

The trail traverses the Desatoya Mountains from State Highway 722 to US Route 50, following along the Desatoya Mountain Wilderness. There are numerous creek crossings, with the deepest being around a foot. The trail is quite narrow when winding through the Aspen trees, and a full-size rig may have some trouble fitting. The worst part of the trail is near the top on the State Route 722 side, which is a steep and quite rocky climb. There are a few camping spots along the trail that provide beautiful mountain views. You will pass through some gates, as it is open range, please remember to close them behind you.
