The trail is free, clear and in great until just before the split to head over to Strawberry Peak. At this point, the trail becomes blocked by deep snow making it impossible to pass. Give the trail another month of warm weather and it will be passable.

Beautiful riding up until Water Hollow. Moving higher up there’s still plenty of mud and snow. Finally had to turn around back to 40

the trail was super fun and super easy but for as long as the trail is it's a lot of the same thing and since there has been a fire the best looking part is the rock formations which got old fast. it was fun but I probably wouldn't do it again

A great easy trail following the Strawberry River and its tributary Timber Creek. We did this and connected up with Reservation Ridge and Argyle Canyon as part of our multi day overlanding trip along the Utah BDR.

Started at Strawberry Pinnacles. Made my way to highway 6 via Timber canyon. Very cool trail with lots of washed out bridges that are now water crossings. 5 I think. Had to get past a herd of cows and that added about an hour to the adventure. Then some sheep blocked the road. Towards 6, a steep downhill with many trucks pulling campers, added some close encounters. I air down when I off road but if you don’t have a compressor there is pay air just to the right on 6 at the summit station. Trail can be done with a 2WD on a dry day but need 4wd if wet.
