If you are a beginner, or looking to test out a new vehicle, this is a great easy trail. The trail is short but provides beautiful views of Shaver Lake below. The last three quarters of a mile will appeal to those looking for a challenge. Great campspots available.

Difficulty

Difficult: Most of this trail is easy to moderate, but the last 1 3/4 mile is extremely difficult. Boulders are large, sharp and tightly spaced. Stock vehicle owners will need to hike after Wpt. 02.

Fun trail for newer 4X4 enthusiasts. This is one of the easier trails in the area but still not an easy trail. It’s good for people wanting to learn ins and outs of 4 wheeling.
