Trail Overview

This trail is an easy well maintained road that starts in Farmington and heads up the canyon to where it ends at the start of Francis Peak Road and Skyline Drive. This trail stays about 2 vehicles wide but some spots may require larger vehicles to back up in order to find a good place to pass and care should be taken as there are some sections of trail that drive along the edge of a cliff as well as blind corners. This trail is open from May 1st to October 31st but may be closed earlier or opened later due to snow.

Difficulty

This is an easy dirt road but is a little washed out and I would suggest having four wheel drive during wet or snowy conditions.
