This trailhead is a little more off the beaten path but leads to some amazing up close views of stunning rock formations without the crowds. The road leading to the trailhead is very rugged so make sure you do your research on road conditions and have a 4x4 vehicle with enough clearance to get here as it is far from the main road and somewhat isolated. There is a short path leading up the "trail" from here but it quickly blends into the surrounding rocks and leads to a freeform exploration of some very cool formations.
