Overview
Chuckwagon Trail is a newer (as of December 2012) trail that parallels FR152. It is a route to take to get to the trailheads for various Red Rocks/Secret Mountain Wilderness trailheads rather than using FR 152 and inhaling dust as the tour jeeps pass by.
History
This trail was likely sanctioned because of a need for an alternative to FR152 for hikers and bikers.
This trail has been promoted as a mountain biking trail and so is frequently used by mountain bikers.
Water Sources
There are a couple of creek beds that may run with water after a good rain.
Camping
Camping is not allowed along this trail, but camping areas can be accessed through the Secret Canyon trailhead further north of the Brins Mesa trailhead (1.2 miles via FR 152).
When hiking several trails on a single "hike", log it with a generic name that describes the hike. Then link the trails traveled, check out the example.
WARNING! Hiking and outdoor related sports can be dangerous. Be responsible and prepare for the trip. Study the area you are entering and plan accordingly. Dress for the current and unexpected weather changes. Take plenty of water. Never go alone. Make an itinerary with your plan(s), route(s), destination(s) and expected return time. Give your itinerary to trusted family and/or friends.
