The Trails

FACTORS DETERMINING TRAIL DIFFICULTY

The difficulty level of a trip is somewhat subjective and depends greatly on the weather, your physical condition, and your expectations. Of those three factors, the only one this guide can help influence is what you expect to find. For many of the same reasons, the number of days suggested for each trip is subjective as well. The fewer number of days listed is the minimum you should schedule in order to fully enjoy a trip. The greater number of days obviously includes a layover day or two when you can settle into a camp and do some nearby day hikes, or simply enjoy a rest day. Campsites and places to acquire water will be mentioned in order to help you plan your routes efficiently.

FINDING THE TRAILHEADS

All of the trailheads listed in this guide should be accessible to the average sedan. However, that sedan might be very dusty or mud-caked by the time you reach a particular trailhead. Some roads are narrow and winding, requiring a speed no faster than 15 miles per hour at times.
