Trail Overview

When you travel this trail, you'll be treated to breathtaking views of the stunning canyon landscapes and the majestic Dolores River. It's common to spot a wide range of wildlife during your journey, but it's important to remain aware of livestock in the area. It's also worth noting that the trail is prone to erosion and washouts, which can result in rutted and unstable surfaces. Additionally, you may encounter fallen rocks that could pose unexpected challenges.

This trail gets very little travel due to its remote location. Great scenery, some spots that require decent ground clearance and reasonable driving ability. I would call this a 4-rated trail for experienced drivers or a 6-rated trail for unexperienced drivers. Tire placement is critical to avoid hitting axles on rocks. We went from east to west, and it may be slightly more challenging from West to East. Expect to be on just this section of trail for 2-4 hours. There is also a cool old structure near the west side.
