Description

This is an easy, wide, dirt road that wanders up the center of Telegraph Canyon. Eventually, it leads to Four Corners and beyond. I've never been past Four Corners, so I can't describe it beyond there, but the elevation profile shows it dropping pretty quickly, which is why I gave it green/blue difficulty. If anyone can add to this description, please use the "improve this trail" section.

West from the campground to Four Corners is a brutal climb with no shade. Nothing technical. Just a steep grade.

Nice hot days here. The elevation is subtle but picks up after mile 5. If you parkes on the Carbon Canyon side it's downhill all the way from the… 11mi — 1h 10m
