Camp, bike, or hike at numerous stops along the way, in these elevated outdoors. Learn of the history and settlement of the area. Breath-catching views throughout invite you to delve deeper.

It then continues generally southeast past Navajo Lake and through Duck Creek Village before ending at an intersection with US-89at Long Valley Junction.
