wrh
I attempted to this trail as part of a loop (ran down the Tabegauch jeep trail and then came back up Rough Canyon). Most of this is not runnable, and the trail is hard to find/non-existent in the bottom mile and a half or so. It's an adventure! Stunning canyon walls, though.
We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
