Trail is a mixture of single track, forest road and double track. Provides a variety of scenery. About 1400 feet of elevation change throughout the trail.GPS is a must unless you are going with someone who has been there. Map can be printed off the internet if you search for Kelly Canyon trails. Lots of trails in the area due to all the cows running around. Signage doesn't really exist. Some flagging and painted trees but not alot of help. Fun trail once you learn all the right turns. Some fast downhills with doable climbing. Courtesy of Singletracks.com

Never modify trail features. Ride trails when they're dry enough that you won't leave ruts. Speak up when you see others on the trail and always yield to hikers, horses, and others coming uphill. Always ride on the established trail.
