Trail Overview

This trail is a nice scenic drive through Buchanan State Forest. There are many dispersed campsites as well as hiking trails. The trail runs along a ridge, with views of the valley below all throughout the trail. There are a few steep inclines and declines, as well as washed-out areas that could be slick during the winter months. 4WD is recommended for this trail.
