About this campground
The Smith Canyon road travels through lush vegetation and follows the creek-bed several miles. The elevation gets higher and the views will become high alpine woods and meadows. As the loop turns and starts back, the OHV section becomes challenging and is recommended for experienced riders only. This section goes from juniper and pinyon forests to a wash area with high rock cliffs surrounding.
