Trail Overview

The shaft is a steep, rocky, loose trail with a waterfall-type ledge in the middle that is about 5-6 feet tall. The trail starts at the bottom of the creek, known as heartbreak ridge. Lockers, winches, and large tires 40s or larger are suggested. The trail ends back on the Gomer Pyle loop just west of the entrance to Heartbreak Ridge.

The trail is very steep and at the bottom of a wet weather creek. If you break or run into any problems, it's going to be a long recovery; trail is suggested for large tire rigs with lockers and a winch.
