Trail Overview

This challenging trail rips through the hills as it works toward Ox Valley or away to Big Mountain. Although the views of the valley are spectacular and there are a few flat spots to camp. Getting to them may be the biggest challenge. This trail is super narrow with very tight corners. There are long sections of narrow off-camber shelf road with big drops( not for those afraid of heights). There are some very long, very loose hill climbs and descents with boulders and ledges part way up or down them. Best for Moto, SXS, or ATV paint damage guaranteed with a wider vehicle and possible tire damage. There are four bars of LTE cell service at the top; none in the valley.

This trail was worked by the forest service over the summer and has been widened and cleaned up. It is now covered in loose silt so the dust is horrible.

Torn up trail, deep ruts, livestock, and a general bad quality of line.
