Trail Overview
This 2.8-mile point-to-point trail connects the Poch Ridge trail to the Poch Peak trail, completing a loop around the Evans Creek ORV area. This is the most difficult portion of the loop, with steep grades and narrow shelf roads with off-camber sections. In the middle of this trail, there is one fallen tree that creates an obstacle that is 2 feet in height. Longer-wheelbase vehicles may have difficulty passing this obstacle, which requires a sharp turn to get over. There is an optional small rock area along this trail with some fun ledges up to 3 feet in height to climb. This trail becomes much more challenging after rainfall.

Difficulty
Expect short steep grades and narrow shelf roads with off-camber sections. One sharp turn will require a multi-point turn by longer-wheelbase vehicles. One tree stump obstacle is up to 2 feet high with a sharp turn. The wet season will make this trail much more challenging.
