This trail is moderately challenging and should only be attempted if you have the right vehicle and lots of experience.
This trail, besides mud has a lot of large and in some cases deep puddles. Plan accordingly.
The trail is lengthy at approximately 18+ miles.

This trail cannot easily be done on foot.
Do NOT do this trail alone. Directions from Hiway 14: Turn right on Laramie River Road and go North approximately 1.6 miles to the trailhead. There are restroom facilities as well as a place to air down your tires.(See waypoint TRLHD)

1. Rock in the Trees
2. Tree in the Rock
3. No Rocks. Just Trees

Plan a whole day. The trail will probably take at least 7 to 8 hours and could take much longer if you have vehicle damage.
If you do have a break down and must leave the area on foot, follow the road.
Do NOT try to bushwack. The terrain on either side of the ridge is steep.

This trail is rated "Difficult" in the Charles Wells Northern book

OK...cache number 6 of the day...whew...we are thoroughly jostled! Not sure we will make it to number 7 but pressing on to beer thirty! Took mini army knife (cool!) and magic towel. Left a Jax sticker and the carabiner from earlier. Thanks so much for the fun with the caches!
