Trail Overview

Starting from the top of this road, it departs Van Creek Road in dense conifer forest and descends a 1.5 lane dirt road with deep rutting, "whoops", and a few small rock obstacles under 12". Most obstacles can be avoided. After descending through the forest, we drop into meadows created by power line roads. There are quite a few small side trails. No camping opportunities along the road, but the side trails may offer some campsites. The lower portion of this road is a 2-lane, well-maintained gravel road that travels through private properties/residences. Please respect private property, and please respect the posted speed limit of 20 MPH to keep the dust down.
