From the road of North Skyline, FS1043 is marked at one end by a clear signpost and a well-established rock fire ring at the other. From the signpost, the trail looks like a promising two-track that wanders back toward a gathering of aspen. Once wrapping around the aspen, rather than proceeding along the ridge, the trail circles through the trees and arrives back at North Skyline, making this an extremely short track with a single campsite. The trail has nothing more than a few small rocks to meander over.
