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.

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

Very well maintained gravel road, appears to be mainly used to service the high voltage lines that run through this area. Wide enough for two vehicles in most areas.

Well maintained gravel road with some rocky sections that pretty much any vehicle can do. There are several scenic views!
