Trail Overview
This trail combines several Forest Service trails and goes off the heavily traveled path, taking you back into the forest where water is plentiful, the grass is tall and green, and the wildlife and cattle are happy campers. The water crossings in late July 2023 were easy. Only one was soft underneath, the others were solid where water washes over the hard-packed trail. There are some rocks on this trail, but nothing too large. Some parts of the trail show signs of erosion from run-off. It's an easy trail, with beautiful scenery. Too early in the springtime, this trail may be impassable. This is a full-width trail, and a 72-inch SXS fits easily.
