Trail Overview

This is a small hunting trail that cuts through the mountains to Avon Pass. It's very narrow in several spots, which makes passing other vehicles near impossible. It's mainly used by 4-wheelers and hunters. The trail is only open from July 15th to November 15th. It goes through private land, so if you want the trail to stay open, treat it with the utmost respect and stay on the trail!
