Running between Silver Meadows and Rhodes Canyon is a very seldom-used trail called Mill Fork. Although not intensely difficult, this trail will likely add a little spice to the otherwise "easy" forest service road. Due to the lack of maintenance and use, Mill Fork has severe ruts and washouts that must be maneuvered and straddled. Stock 4WD vehicles will not struggle under average conditions, but a little experience can be helpful. The difficulty will only increase if this trail is wet, as these ruts are large enough to swallow a tire. A few rocky patches will also slow drivers down, where embedded and loose rocks reach 6-8" tall. Please remember to stick to the trail and not drive around the rutted section! If you cannot drive over the washouts, just turn around.

Camping was limited to the few spots on the trail's western end, right where it branches off from Silver Meadows. These are smaller dispersed sites with nothing more than a man-made fire ring.
