Whisker Spur

Trail Overview

This is a 2-mile spur off of the graded road Whisker Draw South. It's a wider dirt trail between sagebrush on soft dirt, with lots of ruts and unmarked intersections. It winds through the pinyon pine with tight turns and starts to narrow up, with tree branches sticking out over the trail. It goes through a couple of big dips to cross ravines that are a couple of feet deep--you'll need high clearance. There's a long section of embedded slick rock. It's flat and easy but a unique feature of this trail. It climbs up to the top of the mesa, gaining almost 500 feet in elevation. It gets more faint and narrow at the top before it dead-ends. It dead-ends on a section of slab rock with a view out over the mesas. It's fun to just explore and may be good hunting access, although it doesn't lead to anything in particular.
