Parachute Hill is a moderate, rough dirt road with sections of steep climbing and some short rocky sections that pose a small challenge, albeit short-lived. 4WD and high clearance are necessary for this trail due to the fact that there are a few sections with larger rocks on steeper sections of climbing. Towards the very end of the trail, just past a rocky overlook, the road begins to descend, and the trail narrows significantly more than anything up to that point. The road then begins to climb again before finally dead-ending at a gate with a very small area to turn around. There is no camping or points of interest past the rocky overlook, so continuing beyond that is not recommended.
There are many areas for dispersed camping along Parachute Hill and the short connected spurs in the middle section of the trail. Some areas have a bit of a view of the nearby valley and surrounding mountains to the east.
