Trail Overview

If you're looking to get some elevation, look no further. Big mountain is over 7k feet and offers almost 360deg views from the top. You may have to explore the little fingers of trails up there to get a complete picture. But no matter which way you look, you won't be disappointed. The road itself is pretty easy, with room to pass oncoming easily. There is no winter maintenance, and if it's wet, it would be a slip and slide. There are a few parking pullouts with evidence of people camping overnight. Full LTE cellular service the whole time; you are heading towards the towers after all.

Easy dirt/gravel road. Very few ruts. However, once you get to Shinbone, that all changes. There are some very long, very loose hill climbs and descents with boulders and ledges part way up or down them. Steep drops off narrow trail. Still, absolutely beautiful.
