Trail Overview
The journey of this trail starts near Graveyard Point and winds down to the Succor Creek camping area. It offers a diverse terrain with small obstacles, making it exciting for beginners in off-roading. It's a dirt trail with quite a few rutted sections that aren't too deep. However, a 4x4 is required for this trail. The mix of gravel, rutted sections, rocks, and even a barbed-wire fence adds to the authenticity of the experience. Once coming down to Succor Creek, you'll have to get through a barbed-wire fence, be sure to leave it as you've found it. After passing the fence as you come down, the views of the rock formations are stunning, but there will be a slightly steep section with rocks--some are loose. One section is a bit narrow, but there's enough space to navigate. There are long stretches of enjoyable flat gravel with terrific views as you approach the Succor Creek area. Late spring is the perfect time to do this trail, as the wildflowers are in bloom and the landscape is a lush green. There are spots for dispersed camping before reaching the Succor Creek camping area.
