Trail Overview
FR 71 starts as a beautiful, wide road that traverses a large meadow. In this meadow, there are several pull-through campsites that could accommodate trailers up to fifth wheels. Out the East side of the meadow, however, the road quickly becomes a single-lane mud track with ruts and off-camber water crossings. Heading uphill you'll skirt Pouquette Hill, and drive through an old burn scar that shows on the bark of the Ponderosa Pines. As you dip back down to lower elevations, large mud puddles encompass the trail, making 4-wheel drive a necessity.
