Trail Overview

This trail goes through the Phillip W. Schneider Wildlife Area to the abandoned Murderers Creek Ranch. The trail follows Murderers Creek, and there are many opportunities to wade in the creek or go for a hike. The route goes through Ponderosa Pine forest, past juniper-choked canyons, and across the wide open high desert sagebrush steppe.

There is a water crossing over a foot deep through Murderers Creek, rocky and steep sections, deep potholes, and narrow sections.
