Trail Overview

This trail provides a back way to or from the top of High Rock Canyon trail/Stevens Camp out to County Road 34. There are a couple of large washes you cross and it is a bit rocky but other than that if the trail is dry it is pretty mellow. It is a very remote location as the BLM signs say you are on your own. There is no cell service and the closest town/civilization is approximately 55 miles by dirt over a couple of mountain passes. There is a spring at Stevens Camp that you can get water from if need be.
