Trail Overview
This is a short, but very fun trail for all OHVs up the back of South Shale Ridge. Start with an easy climb, then drop down to Dry Fork. There are great lookout spots and option to connect to Dry Fork trail, as well as the loop to Hunter Canyon Overlook. Limited parking. Open all year, but may close unexpectedly for weather.

Gate blocking access to spear Hunter monument as it’s on private land. The overlook and camp site was pretty neat though.

It was a pretty mellow trail for the most part with a stock jeep. Found out it comes to a gate around Speer Hunter where you can't pass through. If you don't have a short wheel base you will have to back up for a bit before there is an opening to turn around.
