Trail Overview
Forest Road 305a starts as a wide rock road that quickly turns into a rough, rocky two-track through a beautiful forest of Ponderosa Pines. This almost 9-mile trail leads through wildfire burn scars on single-lane dirt. Recent storms and wind have taken down a number of the pines, which have led to bypasses around these obstacles being put in. Toward the northern end, you might encounter a large number of cattle grazing, so take care on your drive. This trail terminates on the North end at Red Skinner Road, a wide and maintained Forest Service road.
