I forgot to load the map for this trail, and it got difficult to follow at almost one mile in. It looks like I should have crossed the creek where I turned around to find the trail that would at least continue for a slightly farther distance. The topo map shows it going ~3 miles, but it is only officially maintained for ~1 mile. Even the maintained part was fairly overgrown in areas.

I did find a new wildflower I haven't seen bloomed before though!

There is about a quarter mile or so of dirt road that requires a high clearance vehicle to reach the trail head. It did not require four wheel drive (which I do not have).
