Description

From the Old Faithful intersection, Upper Chain Breaker starts off deceptively wide and smooth around a water tank, but don't worry, the second half of the ride lives up to the name as you traverse numerous rocky wash crossings. It's an out-and-back or a way to connect up to NAFTA. It's unmarked at the intersection with Old Faithful.
