Trail Overview
This trail provides access to the popular Moonscape Overlook viewpoint. It is very frequently visited for photos and camping. Please be extremely cautious at the overlook, one teen tragically fell to their death here. Remember to be respectful to others and share this popular space, if people are already camping here, there are lots of other campsites on nearby spur trails. There are many spots where this trail has been widened due to avoiding obstacles/mud with low clearance vehicles, so please remember to tread lightly and stay on the trail so it does not get shut down.

Difficulty
This route is pretty easy in a stock 4x4 vehicle with decent clearance. However, there are some areas where there are small ledges, ruts, and potential mud holes after rain.
