This trail is quite remote and little used except by hunters. It is rocky and rises 2400 feet in its eleven mile length. The approach to this trail is even an ordeal. Without a 4 x 4 it shouldn't be attempted. The Juan Miller Road #475 branches off a little more than a mile from the Blue River. Forest Road 475C becomes rough as it drops into the Blue River Canyon. After crossing the river the trail branches off Forest Road 475C to the north.
