Trail Overview

This is an interesting drive past the local landfill. A high-clearance 4x4 is highly recommended. The road is a mix of dirt, gravel, and rocks, and some of the terrain is uneven. The parking areas are at the end of the road--the farthest one is about 1 mile out. There are low points and great vistas from the high points of the trail. This road is impassable in wet and rainy conditions.
