Trail Overview

This is a single-track route that orbits the Castle Rock & Nipple Butte formation. This is FS189.1B & 189.1C. There are some fire-damaged trees that are cut but still close to the trail which may make this route difficult for full-size trucks or SUV's. The route is fairly flat and easy when it's dry.

Difficulty

The west side (FSR 189.1B) is just two-track and very easy with no issues. On the east side (FRS 189.1C) can be tight for full-size vehicles due because of the downed trees from previous fires. Trees have been cut but left close to the trail. Also, there are some trees that require some zig-zags to get through without going off-trail.
