Pierce Canyon

Pierce Canyon serves as a rugged connector between South Fork Worthing and the surrounding high-country terrain. It is an offbeat path that winds through scattered tree stands, mellow hillsides, and slopes of exposed rock scree.

The trail itself is rough and rattly, with loose rocks ranging from softball to soccer-ball size scattered across much of the route. You’ll need to pick your line carefully as your rig bounces and flexes through this rocky stretch. Though nothing overly technical, it is enough to keep you alert behind the wheel.

While there aren't any clear camp sites along the route, the rugged scenery and transitional feel of the canyon make it a satisfying leg of the journey
