The trail follows an old jeep road which still provides access to the power lines. The trail begins in high desert vegetation and switchbacks up the side of Casner Mountain. The ascent is very strenuous and accounts for about 2 miles of the total length. However, once on top the hike is really quite easy to moderate. Take lots of water especially during the Summer months.
Wildlife is abundant, particularilly in the winter months.
Watch for Elk and Deer. An occassional Bear and even Mountain Lion are spotted. Snow may be present in Winter. ATV maximum width is 40 inches. No motorized or mechanized vehicles in Wilderness.
