Trail Overview

This is a continuation of the lower Ward Canyon Road. It continues winding up the mountainside with amazing views off of the side of the road. The trail has a few ruts and small rock gardens but there shouldn't be any issues getting any car up here. At the top, you get a view out to the west and the east showing both sides of the mountain. There are more trails at the top to continue exploring. On the way up the road there are trails that only small ATVs or dirt bikes can access.
