Trail Overview

The trail is mostly a narrow single track but traffic is two-way so be mindful of that. This trail, as with all the trails in Prentice Cooper, is a very nice drive in the woods. You need some clearance on this trail mostly due to the hills having large humps and needing a higher break-over angle. There are some great views of the mountains along this trail. We had cell service for most of this trail (Verizon). https://youtu.be/hibRLgU4auw

Difficulty

Nothing too difficult about this trail but you will need some clearance to get across the large humps on the hills. If this trail is wet the challenge would increase.

Great single lane dirt trail that winds thru thue forest offering bluff & vista views throughout with some rocky rutty & washed out areas with a few dips & puddles. The bluff offers a areas of pull off for photo taking. Use caution and keep kids & pets close as the areas few not roped, chained or fenced. High clearance & 4WD capabilities required.
