Woodpecker Trail

If you are into "rock crawling", then this is the trail for you. It follows a creek bed littered with huge boulders. It took us about two hours to go approximately five miles. Picking the "right line" determines whether you will succeed or not. There are several by-passes around some of the tougher sections but we chose not to use them. Be prepared to use your skid plate...


Here's a photo of a structure at the entrance to the "Highway to Hell" made up of vehicle parts that were lost to the trail...


The Woodpecker Mine is actually a group of huge mines scattered over several acres...


If you enter Woodpecker from Mineral Mountain, you will know in the first hundred yards if this is the ride for you. Here is a video of the beginning of the trail...
