Trail Overview
This is a well-traveled and nice graded road. It's mostly wide enough for two rigs to pass without stopping until you get closer to the end, where there are ample pullouts. It's primarily a well-maintained gravel trail with a few washboard sections. Keep your eyes peeled for a few deep dips that could sneak up on you if it's dusty. You'll have your fill if you're looking for excellent river access and plenty of camping spots! Two ATV and Moto trails lead off this trail and plenty of pullouts and small offshoots to explore waterfalls and other features of the river system. There is no cell service back here and no winter maintenance.
