Trail Overview
This fun shortcut between Happy Jack Road and Eagle Rock Road in the Pole Mountain area of Medicine Bow National Forest between Laramie and Cheyenne includes a few short steep ups and downs. This route can be accessed directly off Happy Jack Road, but for the full experience, turn off Happy Jack at Caretakers and immediately turn left to catch the narrow two track that parallels Happy Jack.
