About

The tread is dirt and rock left in place, and grades of 5-8% mean the miles climb gently. It is held to class 3 standards. Loose rock turns up after storms, so watch your step on the downhill side. Take water for everyone in your group, and turn back if the weather changes. Check with the Red Rock Ranger District for closures, fire limits, and parking rules before you drive out.
