Horse Valley Peak Loop the Forest Service's write-up
The Smith Canyon road travels through lush vegetation and follows the creek-bed several miles. The elevation gets higher and the views will become high alpine woods and meadows. As the loop turns and starts back, the OHV section becomes challenging and is recommended for experienced riders only. This section goes from juniper and pinyon forests to a wash area with high rock cliffs surrounding.

About this trail's facts
The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
