Classified as a MODERATE trail by the Black Hills National Forest Service. The trail is made up of single and dual track with some forestry road sections. This scenic trail is a 7.3 mile loop. It is meandering with several small climbs and decents. Waterbars offer some jumps and some sections are very rocky. The one mile spur to the summit of Old Baldy Mountain takes you up to 6100' with a spectacular 360' view to the north, Wyoming to the west and the Hills to the south and east.
