Land OwnerUSFS
The road goes from the Crazy Canyon trailhead to the top of Mount Sentinel connecting with many trails in the area along the way. The grade is mostly gradual with a couple of steeper sections before the Sentinel saddle. Above the saddle the road is very steep and the Mount Sentinel Summit trail is a better option both up and down.
