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.

Was out for a day trip to Steven's camp. used this trail to get back out to County road 34. Trail was dry with couple wash outs but the edges were not to bad and were easily knocked down.
