Trail Overview

This is an easy, two-car width road with plenty of pull-offs. Not maintained in the winter. Along this route, you will find multiple camp spots, for both big and small groups, and beautiful open meadow views. This can be a very busy area on the weekend. The road will be very muddy when wet, and falling trees are common. There is spotty cell phone service. Please do not drive in the meadow; stay on designated roads.
