Trail Overview

Forest Service Road 9E is just over 1.5 miles long and provides an easy connection between Highway 260 and Forest Service Road 9D. The trail surface is primarily dirt with minor ruts and a few small rocky sections that should not pose any difficulty for most vehicles. The route travels through an open meadow dotted with scattered juniper trees, offering wide-open views of the surrounding landscape. The southern portion of the trail can become very muddy after rain or snow and may be difficult to navigate when wet. In contrast, the northern section is smooth and well-maintained, likely due to ranch activity along the route. Drivers/riders should remain alert for livestock and ranch traffic, including livestock transport vehicles, especially on the northern end of the trail.
