Trail Overview

North Ambassador Mine is the northern stretch of Forest Service Road 9002Y. The southern part of this trail is fairly easygoing but quickly becomes rocky and rutted. Many of these rutted areas are covered with loose rocks scattered across the trail. As you continue north, the trail changes to sand until you pass through a gate. Beyond the gate, the trail becomes heavily eroded, with ruts and loose rocks peppering the surface. These ruts continue all the way up until you reach the saddle. Be sure to pick a good line when traversing these ruts. After reaching the top of the saddle, the trail continues a short distance before ending. Although the trail does continue beyond this point, a motor vehicle use map prevents it from being mapped any further.
