Trail Overview

This is a 10-mile one-way trail with steep ascents/descents and lots of blind switchbacks running along high-tension power lines. Most of the trail is one vehicle wide with plenty of pull-outs. Amazing views of Lake Mohave and surrounding mountains abound on this trail. Take switchbacks slowly and keep alert for possible opposite-direction traffic.

Decent rail. Not too entertaining just a lot of ups and downs. The best views are at the top but other than that… kinda of a straight forward trail. Nothing to write home about.

Breathtaking views. Nice trail conditions. We got to speak with a nice gentleman that lived around the area and suggested some nice options to see the lake.

Fun trail. Slower speed necessary on most sections. Switchbacks. Beautiful view. Great spot to stop at the river just a little way further past the end of this trail.
