About This Trail

Imported description

The park is near the sign. There is a gate with a metal pin that you can use to raise the wire loop over the post. The fork at the beginning will lead to a lookout on the right. Continue for 1.5 miles on the two-track road. There is a post at the end of the road. You can follow deer-made trails after this post. The area becomes a wide space of sagebrush if you turn around where the trails aren't obvious. It might be possible to go further.
