Trail Overview

This is a lightly traveled, narrow dirt road with steep grades. It's one vehicle wide with places to pass. Uneven, rutted dirt trail with loose rocks and erosion leaves you staring over the edge of huge drops to rocky cliffs. There are potential water crossings up to a foot or more deep, mud holes, and obstacles up to 18inches, including ledges and tight turns.

Difficulty

There are sections that are pretty narrow and tight turns with rock overhangs that are not for the faint of heart.

Finished trail from start to finish, some gates were closed but I opened and closed them as I crossed. It was narrow! but okay if you don’t mind some scratches.

Started at the south side, Breckenridge Road. Once we got to the fork splits between the Stark non-motorized trail and the continuation of Cow Flat, the trail was fenced off by barbed wire and wood posts.

Amazing views. This one is pretty narrow so full size pickups be advised. A stock Jeep or mid siz pickup does great on this one. Some of those narrow parts next to steep drop offs are not for the faint of heart. Stay focused and you're golden.
