Trail Overview
Either end of this road appears to be an easy travel. Other than the single lane, unmaintained road, it looks pretty tame. However as the road approaches the large rock formations covered in pine trees. It starts to become rougher. If you are in a vehicle with off road suspension, a slow, but steady pace can be maintained. If you have a factory, stiff suspension you are in for a slow ride. The path through the rock required some minor hiking to scout out some choices in paths. There were also some small ledges that required some rocks to be piled up into a small ramp. The area has sage grouse, mule deer and pronghorn and the "right place, right time" to see any of them. As mentioned previously the area is covered in sage brush and the rock mountain is covered in pine trees.
