Skull Creek to Horton MIll Connector

Trail Overview

This trail passes through many high-desert landscapes such as sagebrush, mountain mahogany slopes, and ponderosa pine forests. The road surface is variable between decent gravel and deeply rutted 2-track, with some areas having recently been completely replaced. There are several excellent views of the nearby town of Burns/Harney Basin, Rimrock Canyon, and many beautiful high desert vistas. Hot and dry days with cold, windy nights, bring more water than you think you will need.
