Trail Overview
This limited maintenance Forest Service road is washed out and offers quite a few fun spots over its 3-mile length. It can be entered on either end. Entering from Rt153 allows you to use the truck stop lane to slow down and make the right turn just after the truck lane ends. You will descend just over 700 feet in elevation over the journey on Hoover Nelson. At the bottom end, there is often water over the road after a rainstorm or snowmelt.
