Description
This beautiful trail winds its way through a variety of terrain types as it follows old jeep roads through this scenic area. There is very little vehicle traffic, so riders can concentrate on the outstanding views of the Gunnison Valley and the West Elk Wilderness. The trail contains some steep segments with loose rock, and access roads are muddy and slippery when wet.
