Trail Overview
This fun little trail heads from old highway 30 up into the hills to a killer pair of hilltops. The trail ends at a fantastic camping spot with good LTE cell service and panoramic views of the Snake River, the valley below, and the sugar Bowl plateau directly to the south. The other side of the hill is less scenic but clearly more of a great local shooting spot. It has good Bermed hills to shoot into and plenty of room for multiple groups. The trail surface is packed gravel, and there is clearly a well-traveled "advanced" route to get to the top. This area appears to be the source of much of the gravel used on the trails, so the road surface is quite good.

Difficulty
Easy and gravel all the way until the end. There's a slight hill climb, and it may get muddy when wet.
