About This Trail

Imported description

Plan accordingly because there is no water along the way. It adds to it a little bit more because you walk a lot. If your phone dies, no maps are out there, so take a picture at the kiosk. It's a hike so pack light. There isn't much to primitive camping. Also horse flies. They are the worst at the sand part. There is a hiking marker on the ground.
