Trail Overview

This trail up the canyon is a little more technical. Expect off-camber and rutted sections throughout, as well as some rocky spots and short, steep grades to navigate. The trail leads up to some really cool old mining trails, one of which you can drive up. There's even an old mine shaft that has been grated over, but be sure to still use caution around it. Once you reach the top, there are several other trails to explore.

Status Reports

Good amount of dust, definitely praying for rain. Take advantage of the early early mornings before the sun get high, a lack of any breeze in the canyons will bake you like a McNugget

Trail is open but you might need to stop a couple of times to clear some tumbleweeds.
