This extremely difficult route has grown progressively harder due to erosion, with no easy bypasses. Well-equipped rigs often struggle; high-lift vehicles face severe body roll and exposure on off-camber sections. Rollovers, broken parts, and winch/strap assists are common on multiple obstacles. The trail climbs lower Pritchett Canyon, exits via a side canyon over a divide into Hunter Canyon, then returns to the highway via leader-selected routes. Scenery Spectacular narrow canyon with steep walls, large pour-offs, pool-dotted creek bottom, and visible arches (Pritchett Arch, Window Arch, smaller spans). Surface Starts in bouldery creek bottom, then climbs ledges across mixed rock layers and dirt. Major challenges stem from exposed bedrock after roadway erosion. Trail Details Key obstacles include: Initial ledgy downhill (recently graded but deteriorating) Brickyard climb out of drainage (multiple hard lines) Chewy Hill (eroded, slippery, off-camber ledges) Optional “Waterfall” slickrock section Rocker Knocker (double ledge; critical line, high tip risk, nearly impossible when wet) Unnamed “staircase” hill (large ledges; frequent axle/drive-line damage; left bypass has big rock) Axle Hill (slippery lower stage, steep/ledgy/off-camber upper) Rock Pile (8-ft bare ledge; bypass requires rock stacking and often winching) Yellow Hill (uneven, slippery multi-colored ledges; high rollover risk) Once atop the canyon, easier (but longer) roads lead back to US 191. Additional Notes Named a B.F. Goodrich Outstanding Trail in 2008 for scenery and extreme difficulty. Heavy annual maintenance is required; stay on established routes and avoid creating new lines to help preserve access.
