This trail starts as a paved road and then 3 miles up it turns into a dirt road which continues for 7 miles until you reach Four Corners. This trail can be used to access Santiago and Modjeska peaks. During the winter, this trail gets very muddy if there is rain and it will occasionally snow, but it is still rideable. Note: this trail is occasionally open to motor vehicles.
