D1228 is a vital connector when exploring all the scenic overlooks or looking for the perfect campsite. The trail has a couple of challenges for 4x4 vehicles. There are vertical rock ledges that require low-range gearing and clearance. The challenges are few and ideal for stock-type 4x4 vehicles driven by less experienced drivers. One small campsite with room for a single vehicle sits along the route. Additional camping at the end of the overlook spur trails has fantastic views above Shafer Canyon.
