Terrain is exciting and challenging after Point #3. Water crossings are fun. Area before Waypoint 02 sees heavy traffic by hikers. Two famous fourteener hiking trails leave from established campgrounds.

Difficult TrailRating 
Difficult. One obstacle on 110.J is very difficult. Other obstacles are marginally difficult, but most of trail is moderate. In the spring, water crossings may be too deep to safely cross. High-clearance stock SUVs can drive F.S. 110, but probably not F.S. 110.J.
