High Grade
The High Grade trail is a short, 0.4 mile, single track connector trail that goes from the Red Cliffs campground road near the Quail Creek crossing to the north end of the Prospector trail. It primarily serves equestrians coming out of the White Reef trailhead but is open to hikers and bikers. Elevation change is about 100 feet. Visitors will enjoy nice views of the signature Red Cliffs in the background.
