Trail Overview
This is another full-width detour off of the main trail to see just a little bit more of the National Forest in this area. The Forest Service trails included in this track are FS 42453, 42449, and 42450. In places, you can see the grass growing up through the trail, evidence that it's not heavily traveled, so the chances of running into others are slim. This area is used for summer grazing for cattle. The views are amazing. The trail is easy. There are no water crossings and no rocky hills; it's just a nice trail with amazing views.
