Trail Overview

This is one of the easiest ways to the top of the plateau. There are some large boulders and sand that could present a challenge depending on your vehicle type. There are mostly rocks on the lower half of the trail and then once climbing on the upper section, you will find a good hard pack and some sand if it has been well-ridden in the summer. At the top, you will find a cattle area and a gate for hikers and horseback riders to continue up the mountain. There is NO Motorized access past that gate. The road could also be labeled as TC03627 combined with TC03620.
