Trail Overview

The route begins on a hard-packed dirt-gravel road from Superior. The road is mainly two lanes with plenty of room to pass for the first 21 miles and slowly narrows to one lane with room barely to pass. Offline Maps will be needed to complete the route as cell service is lost in some areas. Extensive logging is going on toward the end of the route and you should be aware of logging trucks using the roadway. Road dust could be a problem in dry conditions. The route climbs from 2900'-6000' with some very scenic areas. The last quarter mile of the route is very rutty and rocky going to the parking area.
