Trail Overview

This route follows a tight road along the side of a mountain to where it pops out onto the ridge and down to an overlook of Steed Canyon and out across the valley. The road is extremely tight along the mountain, where it is off-camber and a shelf road. Full-size vehicles will most likely not fit, and larger vehicles should expect pinstriping from the overgrown bushes. This trail is closed from November 1st to July 1st, but may be impassable due to snow and mud throughout the year. While the trail provides some challenge, the overlook and views along the way are worth it, with epic views from the end and plenty of views to see along the way.
