Trail Overview

This road is known as the elevator shaft because it is a steep climb up one side and a steep climb down on the other. If you start south to north, then you start out climbing loose rocks and washouts for about 1 mile. After you get to the top, there is a flat section for a stretch. Then you start to descend for a mile, which consists of packed dirt and small ravines the whole way. This is a one-lane road with almost no pull-off sections except for the top. On the downside, for most of it, there is a drop-off on one side.
