Trail Overview
This road is mostly rock/shale/gravel Forest Service Road. It is a rough rocky road with deep shoulder drop-offs from 3' to 30' in some areas. There is Shell Rock creek that runs along it. The foliage in the fall makes for an excellent trail. Wildlife is out along this trail. The trail can be run in both directions from north to south. There are several cut-off trails along this loop. There is dispersed camping in the National Forest and be sure to check for trail closures and burn bans for the area with the National Forest services. This trail can be taken in any stock 4x4 with little concern.
