Cedar Cut 2 - FS 359

Trail Overview

This trail winds through a mix of open meadow and dense pine forest, offering a good balance between easy cruising and light technical sections. It starts as a wide, well-defined dirt road with plenty of room to pass, then narrows in spots as it works its way through tighter tree cover. The scenery shifts throughout the route--rolling terrain, scattered aspens, and pockets of snow that tend to stick around in shaded areas, especially early in the season. There are a couple of small hill climbs along the way that add just enough challenge to keep things interesting. Nothing extreme, but they can get a bit loose or slick depending on conditions. The trail also dips in and out of low areas and bends through the forest, with occasional ruts and uneven sections that call for a bit of line choice. It eventually opens up into broader views before tying into multiple connecting trails, making it a solid route for linking longer runs together.

Difficulty

This one sits in the easy to lower-moderate range. Most of the trail is a straightforward dirt road, but high clearance is recommended due to the small climbs, minor ruts, and uneven terrain. In dry conditions, most stock 4x4s should handle it without issue. Snow or mud can change things pretty quickly, adding a bit more challenge and making traction the main factor.
