Trail Overview
The trail starts as a well maintained dirt road. About a 3 miles into the trail, the dirt is softer and the trail thins to one vehicle wide. There are two hill climbs that will require 4WD due to softer dirt and deep rutted off camber terrain. If rain or snow occur, the trail will become very difficult and dangerous. Cell service is patchy and the nearest town is miles away. The end of the trail is rewarding with nice views overlooking the cities of Antelope Valley.

Difficulty
Most of the trail is easy, but there are two hillclimbs that can be tricky and will require 4WD or a locking differential at the very least.
