Trail Overview
This is the more heavily traveled section of the trail. It leads to the crossroads of Grove Creek (more traveled) and Lower Cold Springs. "Less Traveled" the trail travels along a fence line and primarily through fields of Sagebrush. There are a few large boulders to climb and some moon dust sections as well. Be aware of sharp boulders along the trail's edge that may cause sidewall damage. Mostly the route is easy, with a few pullouts scattered here and there, but oncoming traffic may have to reverse to pass. There are no natural spots to disperse camp. Two bars of Verizon LTE service.
