Difficulty

Typically suitable for high clearance 2WD

This trail is rated Level 2, Easy. A stock high clearance 2WD vehicle is sufficient, though the surface will test tire traction and ground clearance in places. Expect a dirt or rocky road with dips, ruts or rocks smaller than about 9 inches. Shallow water crossings and small ledges under 12 inches are possible. The road is typically unmaintained after rain or snow and is one to two vehicles wide. The driver's log does not call out any obstacle needing special attention.

Terrain

The route follows a dirt and gravel forest road through aspen and conifer stands on the mountainside above the Provo River drainage. The road is narrow, about one to two vehicles wide, and the surface can be soft or rutted after rain and snowmelt. The route is at roughly 8,200 to 8,400 feet, so snow can linger into late spring.

Highlights

The route links with the Taylor's Fork trails and the Shingle Creek ATV trailhead and campground, so it can be combined with other riding in the area. The surrounding Cedar Hollow trails also have a campground. Aspen groves make the fall color season a good time to visit. Riders in the area are asked to stay on dry, solid surfaces in spring, when the ground is wet and fragile.
