Trail Overview

Very Steep entry/exit on both ends. The creeks are always flowing and constantly changing the appearance of the roadway. Three sizeable concrete slab bridges span the waterways that wind in and out of the valley as you descend before going right back up again. The western valley ridgeline is very narrow and slick. Often ice-covered in the winter with no guardrail of any kind. Multiple places to pull off and have a picnic and cool off in the creek during the summer months, there are no houses along this roadway and no cell signals so be prepared with a plan in case of an emergency.
