Windrock 83 is a two-way trail. It can be entered via G33 or G6. It can also be used to access Windrock 82, a difficult trail. While 83 is a relatively short trail, it offers great views down the mountainside and into the valley below. It also has several interesting rock features and waterfalls. The trail is known for its entrance to a mine system. While the mine entrance looks tempting to explore, exercise caution due to potentially dangerous gases that may have collected. Windrock discourages guests from entering. However, on a hot day, 83 can be a refreshing oasis due to the cold air coming out of the mine shafts. The trail exhibits mostly rough dirt and, depending on recent weather, several mid to large muddy puddles. The hardest part is the incline from entering the trail via G6.
Windrock 36 is a short, unmaintained trail taking users to the southern trailhead for G6. The only obstacles on this trail are moderate ruts. The trail is under a mile long but takes a little time to get through. The shade keeps the trail wet longer, and when this trail is wet, it is significantly more challenging. 4WD is necessary in all but optimal conditions, but no lift is needed unless the trail sees severe damage.
