Trail Overview

South Power Slog was run from its South end to the North. It consists of large rocks, and what seems to be an endless rock garden, from the high start at Ashurst Lake all the way until you drop into the lower elevations. The route is comprised of ledges, boulders, a rocky creek section, erosion, washouts, water damage, and challenging sections of steep grades filled with large shifting rocks and hairpin turns. In short, it's a slow slog. Along the trail, you might see hunters, as this area is popular for elk, deer, and antelope. There is no service in this area, so offline maps are essential. There are numerous trails that intersect this one, so there might be numerous ways to opt out of the challenging rock landscape for smoother trails if that's what you're looking for.
