Trail Overview

This trail heads off into the mysterious Black Canyon. Just kidding; not sure if it's a mystery or not. It passes by a few killer camp spots along the way, as long as you don't mind sharing camp with cattle. The trail begins super easy, even to the first two campsites. But after the cattle guard on your right, the trail becomes rockier and the terrain rougher. There are a few boulder fields and some slight off-camber sections. The further back one travels into the canyons, the less maintained and less traveled the trail becomes. Eventually, getting so narrow that only a small SXS, dirtbike, or ATV would be recommended. At the time of recording, a downed tree stopped this mapper from progressing further on their moto. There are two bars of LTE service.
