Trail Overview
This dirt road into the Saphire Mountains is THE smoothest and most effortless way up the mountain range. The grade isn't steep. The potholes are few. The only drawback is that there are few pullouts for oncoming traffic, but you'll make it work. There are a couple of directions you can choose to adventure once you get to the end of this trail. If you want easy, this has your name on it. There is no cell service at the top but two bars of Verizon LTE at the bottom.
