Trail Overview

This trail is not well traveled, and you may spend much of your time clearing the road of rock fall. Watch for rattlesnakes. There are a lot of mines in the area to explore. The top of Ellsworth Pass has some good camping spots under trees fed by spring water.

Washout
The trail is very rough through the canyon. You need lockers to get through. There is a considerable washout that we had to clear brush and move rocks to get around.
