Overview

If you are looking for some amazing scenery, and an alternative more challenging way to Happy Valley, this is your route. Formerly the main road to Happy Valley, this small track was bypassed at one point to smooth out the ascent over the pass at Paige Creek. Today the trail follows the powerline to the ranches in Miller Flat and in Turkey Creek. This road provides perhaps the finest view of the beautiful Happy Valley, Turkey Creek Trail, Galiuro, Rincon and Pinaleno Mountain Ranges.
