we took the trail north to south. the fsr starts by crossing through private land with livestock gates and housing so keep speeds to a minimum. the trail is mainly dirt/gravel with lots of exposed rocky sections less than 6" high. there are multiple shallow creek crossings along the route. there are a few dispersed camping spots along the trail. the trail is narrow with many blind switchbacks with plenty of elevation change. be careful of oncoming traffic passing can be tricky. the trail ends at highway 33.
