Trail Overview
This is a narrower Jeep trail on dirt, through sagebrush and pinyon pine in the Cheese and Raisins Hills. The trail is less trafficked, with ruts and washouts on the side of the trail to watch out for. It has some slab rock and a couple of steeper loose downhills that are full of loose rocks, making it a bit harder. It has primitive sections that are more faint and overgrown where you can easily get off track, but there are still enough tracks to follow it through. It dips down low for ravine crossings where you need high clearance. There's also one small rock ledge under a foot tall. The south end of the trail starts on South Elks Road, and it makes a loop up north to 274 Shumway Mines Road, crossing several other unmarked intersections throughout the 4-mile trail.
