Trail Overview

This is an easy road that climbs up from the juniper woodlands to ponderosa forest. It offers Continental Divide Trail access--in fact, the CDT is on the road for a while. There are several campsites at the start of the road. A corral at the end of the road looks like it may still be in use. Look out for several SxS trails at the end for more exploring. There are a few loose climbs, but any 4x4 should be able to complete the trail.
