Power Road is the easiest leg of a loop completed by Tames Creek and Beard Creek. Power Road varies from rocky road to easy two-track. The area is all scrub brush, so the views go for miles and miles. There are a couple of dispersed campsites with great views but no privacy. Various sources, including the official MVUM, show the trail's west end descending switchbacks and connecting to Red Canyon Creek Road. However, the trail crosses several plots of private land, and one of the land owners has installed a locked gate below the switchbacks. There is no room to turn around, so we end our track at the beginning of Tames Creek.
