This is always a popular trail in the area and there may be traffic. It is popular because it is close to the Peak to Peak Highway and it is easy enough for most 4x4 vehicles, with a few challenging sections to make it fun. It is a good trail for those new to offroading.
You can start from either end. The north end is where the actual old Bunce School still stands, and the south end is at Camp Dick, very near to the Middle St. Vrain trailhead. There are pit toilets and camp sites at this end.
Most of the trail is fairly mellow, with a few rocks here and there. There are a few sections that are rocky, requiring careful tire placement in anything but a modified 4x4 vehicle. It is a great place to check your vehicle's capabilities.
There are quite a few camping areas along the trail, most of them wide and flat.
There are a few good views along the trail, but you are primarily in the trees for most of the trail. You spend most of it surrounded by aspens and pine trees.
This is a popular trail in the winter as a trail to run in snow, and sometimes it can get very muddy.
