This spur drops off Willow Creek Road, threading through timber above the White River on a mostly narrow shelf. It functions as a dead-end out-and-back rather than a connector.

The going is moderate, challenging the limits of a high clearance 4x4. The toughest section sits roughly a third of the way in, where the shelf tightens, and the road leans off-camber, demanding careful tire placement. Concerns to note include the narrow shelf road itself, where passing oncoming traffic can be difficult, as well as stretches of moderate off-camber lean.

Suitable camping is not present on the road/trail. Drivers planning an overnight will need to look elsewhere in the surrounding forest or plan for a day trip instead.
