Trail Overview
Alvies Bench cuts through a shady aspen and pine forest. There is little camping right off the trail. However, an unnamed spur trail on the east side of Alvies Bench will head north and may have some available primitive camping. At the time of this writing, there is no cell service in the area - even with a signal booster. So that you know, some Forest Service maps will show a split on the east side of the trail where Alvies Bench meets up with Racetrack Cutoff. However, there is no actual split in the trail, and the actual trail will follow the southern half of the split that needs to be correctly marked on those maps.

Difficulty
Narrow dirt road with very few places to pass or turn around. There are some deep potholes and ruts along the trail. There are also large trees protruding into the trail which may make this difficult to access with some wider vehicles.
