"Deer Valley is a consistently difficult trail that connects Highways 4 and 88.
While the trail is run in either direction it is most difficult from South to North.
The trail boasts some great views and landscapes from its mountain tops to it's valleys.
Pit toilets and fire rings are avalible at Hermit Campground with no fees.
Deer Valley is a must do trail if you are in the area. It can be run out and back in
one day or driven straight through. To get away and take advantage of the great
valleys and meadows you may consider camping near one of the two stream
crossings. Although you would be better off in Hermit Campground during late
Spring till mid Summer, due to the large number of mosquitoes. Just remember
to bring some wag bags and pack everything out."
