There is one part of the trail where it is easy to go the wrong way off trail. We were following the path until it stopped. We looked both ways and followed what looked like a a path which had several tire marks going through it. We followed it which honestly was an awesome trail down the canyon. I would call it a canyon plunge. We keep following the trail because it looked well traveled. Then we couldn’t find where the trail continued and finally we got signal back and saw we were a good ways off trail. So we headed back which was just as awesome as going down it. Honestly was one of the best trails in that area even though it was not an official trail. After we found our way back to the main trail, we blocked it with some branches so no one else makes that mistake because it was easy to make. Maybe in the future they make this a trail.
