Trail Overview

This route follows along a power line for the most part with lots of scenic views. The lower elevation section is mainly gravel or a natural stone base. The upper section to the intersection at Broad Run Road becomes narrow, steeper, and much rockier. There are several dispersed camping areas along the route and there is spotty cell service in the area.

Status Reports

Very easy trail with some great views. Yeah there are power lines but what do you expect on a road for power line maintenance. Nothing too technical, just loose gravel. If you are looking for water and mud, this ain't the trail. If you are looking for an easy drive with nice views I highly recommend.

This is absolutely not a 3; it's very well maintained (perhaps very recently so) gravel road that appears to be access to the power lines. This is a 1- just about any vehicle could do it. Lovely views; minus the power lines. Saw very little in the way of dispersed camping... maybe 2 or 3.

Not sure how this ended up with a 3 rating, this is very much a 1. Pretty much as easy as it gets, Didn't engage 4wd once while on it. If you are new to off roading, have a less than optimal off road vehicle, or just arn't looking for a challenging road to be on to get to some great camp spots, then this is the road for you. Super well maintained, a good abundance of camp spots and no shortage of great views.

This entire trail was mostly very manicured stone roads. Technical rating is a 1 IMO. As long as you have all wheel or four-wheel-drive, you’ll be fine. And only reason you need that is loose gravel. I’m not sure if this got a 3 rating prior to them working on the roads, but I’ve hit 2s that were much more technical. The views were very good though
