Lunch On the Trail
Description: Trail includes narrow canyons, steep shelf roads, large boulders and sharp rocks. The trail is rocky in places but can be traversed by stock 4X4s with open differentials and a skilled driver. Remote location.
Features: Travel on easy forest roads to remote canyons in search of rock crawling challenges. Not a scenic trail. Many old mines in the area. Some roads allow green-sticker vehicles, others do not.
A total of 16.4 miles. 3 to 4 hours.
I have done this trail 4 times solo and lockers were never needed but would always help. Rock sliders and under armor recommended.
