The upper portion of the Hobo Trail begins with a bit of two track exiting south out of a classic Peavine intersection/shooting zone. The trail is essentially a single downhill traverse that is very steep in parts, and also very loose. Nothing too technical, just steep. Kind of a pain to get to, but certainly a unique descent in the Peavine Zone. Prepare for some hot brakes.
