Description

This dirt road is a great connection point between the entrance to Roxborough State Park from Roxborough Drive, the Sharptail Ridge Trail, and Carpenter Peak. The footing is fairly decent, and there is a good climb up the road.

The trail leads mostly through pine forest however it has a couple points where the scenery breaks up to some great landscapes.
