Other information: High Mountain Road is a good place to go if it rains as<br />
the road is always accessible. Ride up to High Mountain Lookout, though the<br />
road may be closed at High Mountain Campground in wet weather. The road<br />
also can be ridden towards Lopez Lake. Road has access to Trout Creek Trail.<br />
Access is currently limited to this single-track trail.<br />
Be careful to follow in the steps of others to stay clear of quick sand (not the<br />
sucking type portrayed in the movies, but a somewhat bottomless type). Use<br />
caution & don’t panic, but try to move your horse slowly to firm ground. It is best<br />
to travel with another rider with rope experience in case of emergency. Wear both<br />
a whistle & cell phone. Tell people where you plan to ride & how long you will be<br />
out.<br />
