Trail Overview

Baxter Sawmill Road traverses the mountains, starting with Hardware Ranch and going to Old Canyon Trail. The road is periodically graded and develops medium-sized ruts from time to time. The road is primarily hardpacked dirt with a section of deeper sand, but the surface becomes highly loose with deep sand when freshly graded. The road starts on private property before transitioning to the National Forest, with some dispersed camping spots. This road is open year-round but may be inaccessible due to deep snow.
