FS 227

This trail begins as a wide, open dirt road heading toward Roosevelt Lake, with several excellent camp spots along the way that can easily accommodate larger groups of 6 to 8 rigs. The road stays relatively wide and easy for most of the route, though a few washouts create mild off-camber sections. As you descend toward the lakebed, the trail becomes steeper, rockier, and noticeably narrower. The final stretch drops down a steep, loose rock garden that requires careful line choice and controlled descent. The road ends at a grassy clearing with a fire ring surrounded by dead trees, and access to the Salt River is just a short 100-yard walk from camp. Most of the trail feels like a 2/10, but the last quarter-mile descent increases the overall difficulty to a 3/10 due to the steep, loose, and rocky terrain.
