Description

This full size vehicle dirt road connects to BLM Road 8320 as a 7+ mile long jug handle style loop to the north side of the Crown.

The road connects (by a short spur trail) to the Buckhorn Traverse, and can also be used to drop in to the top of Innie/Outie. Part of the road roughly parallels the west side of the Vasten Trail. The viewpoint at the southern end of the road is truly expansive, nearly as great as the nearby Top of the Crown.
