This trail parallels Granite Boulder Creek and offers some very photogenic views. This trail’s highest use period is in the fall during big game hunting seasons and accesses the Vinegar Hill Scenic Area, which is non-motorized. There is no developed trailhead at the beginning of the trail. Parking is limited and turning around a stock trailer would be impossible here.
