The hike follows an old roadbed in Idaho County, and the lower part of the trail is fairly steep with loose rocks. The trail starts off of Highway 12 near Lochsa River and west of the Major Fenn Picnic Area. This is a very scenic area that offers a great outdoor experience in the Lochsa-Selway Clearwater Canyons. Be cautious of other adventurists as the trail is heavily used by mountain bikes and OHV's.
