Trail Overview

This is a fun day trip that will take you above 6,000 feet in elevation with some superb panoramic views of the area. Along the way you will see Square Top Mountain where a B-52 crashed in 1983, a great probability for wildlife, the Veyo Cinder Cone, Pine mountains, and the Goldstrike mining area. The mine is now being explored for the potential to reopen it so the owners do not want visitors down in the mine at this time. It is clearly viewable from the road.

Difficulty

This route is impassable in the winter months with deep snow and areas of mud on steep grades. During the remainder of the year it is a relatively easy trail with areas of rock and narrow trails that can provide a slight challenge.

This Trail is fairly smooth with some ruts up to 12 in and some loose rocks.. the trail has some very steep uphills and downhills some with some loose rocks. So plan accordingly, especially for motorcycles. The trail is mostly a one or two rating but couple spots do jump it close to a three. There are some dramatic views. And you do run along a shelf road for a lot of the trail.
