Trail Overview

This is a great loop that will connect with some other trails that can take you up to the Henry Mountain area and a few other loops in the area. To complete the loop you have to take about 4 miles of the paved Notom road. There is one cattle barbed wire gate that must be open/closed to pass through. The trail has a lower one way that goes toward sheets gulch that dead ends. Not really worth going down. Going up the trail at the elbow of the sandy is about a four to climb up. Super fun trail with good views.
