Trail Overview

Anderson Mountain Trail is a pretty good mix of gravel, dirt, and rocks throughout the whole trail. It is a wide trail, where two full-size vehicles shouldn't have trouble passing each other at most points. This trail is pretty fun. Although you are climbing in elevation the whole way, there are many fairly steep climbs with descents immediately following. This makes this trail feel like a bumpy roller coaster. There are lots of dead standing trees along this trail so it is likely that there could be a tree or two down across the trail. Along the way, there are a couple of spots where you can catch a decent view of the mountains on the other side of Highway 93 near Lost Trail.

Difficulty

This trail is mostly dirt, gravel, and rocks. After a good rain, there are some small spots that will collect water and be muddy. There aren't any obstacles on this trail unless you happen to come across a downed tree. It is mostly 2 vehicles wide and very few ledges off the side of the road. Although there are some decent sections of increasing elevation, there isn't anything that most vehicles should have an issue climbing up.
