Trail Overview
This trail is relatively easy but offers spectacular views at the top. Due to some rocky areas, it can be done with any 4WD vehicle with a bit of extra ground clearance. After a heavy rain, it will be slick and muddy in a few places. Located at the top of the trail, you will find one of two fire outlook locations accessible by vehicle in Wyoming.
