A connecting trail between Lake Sutherland (Dam) and Black Canyon Road. Nicely graded and easy to traverse. Virtually any street-legal vehicle can drive it. The hardest parts are the narrow declines (traveling east to west), as the decomposed granite (DG) on hard-pack dirt doesn't provide the greatest traction. If you have any speed, it may be difficult to stop for oncoming traffic.
At the top (eastern end) is Lake Sutherland Dam, with plenty of room to park and view the dam and/or lake. It's a great place to take a lunch break or just admire the view. It's worth the short trip if you're traversing Black Canyon Road.
