Old Stage Road

Old Stage Road is a short 1.25-mile spur off the Kirwin Trail. The gatekeeper of this trail is also its hardest obstacle, a steep climb up a loose dirt and rocky hillside. Expect a little wheel slip as you ascend this obstacle. Once past the initial climb, the road winds around some rolling hills and a few sparse trees. You are then rewarded with a spectacular view down the valley and the road you came in on as you approach one of the steepest and highest descents. The moderate difficulty of this trail comes from the relatively steep climbs and descents over the hills, and a few washouts, which would feel uneasy for a beginner driver. There are no campsites along this trail, although there are plenty on the Kirwin Trail.
