Miller Jeep Trail

Lockwood Creek / Miller Jeep Trail

August, 2003

If you are not encumbered by a slow moving group, the trail should take about 3 hours to run from bottom to top. The trail climbs up and down the mountains over mostly packed dirt and loose rocks. There is a small water crossing before you even start the trail and another one in the middle. Neither are very deep or fast moving and both have gravel and/or solid rocky bottoms.

There is a lot of close brush that will give your rig some pinstriping. There are some narrow spots as you wind your way through the trees, but nothing so close or tight that it would keep larger vehicles off the trail.

There is only one named obstacle on the trail, Kabob Hill. It is a short section of rocky trail that provides a little bit of a clearance challenge for stock rigs. There is a bypass for those not inclined to test their skid plates. The final ascent has rocks and obstacles of about the same size, but there is no bypass. You will just have to navigate carefully through them.
