Truck Dent is a very short, but scenic trail along the top of a ridge, with just enough challenges to keep the driver on his/her "toes". On a clear day, you will be treated to beautiful 360-degree panoramic views. As a great connector trail combined with other roads in the area - Truck Dent can be experienced from either direction, but going uphill from west to east can make the trail a bit more challenging. The beautiful forest scenery and panoramic views are what makes this trail so fun.
