- Description
It took us four hours to drive this road from Highway 89 to our stop in Tropic. Tropic serves as a great destination at the end of the trail where you will find lodging, restaurant, and fuel.
We would rate this as an intermediate trail because of the distance and proximity to services. Take plenty of water, spare tire/tools and let people know where you are going/when you plan to return. Most of the trail is a maintained county road but there are some rocky sections and wash-boarding is common if it’s been a while since the road has been graded.
