Trail Overview

FS 258K represents a segment of the Great Western Trail, originating at Buffalo Ranch and running the full length to FS 258K, which connects onward to FS 205. Along the way, the trail crosses the walking-only section of the Arizona Trail, making it an important multi-use corridor in the area. The route is lined with pines and natural grasses, offering a pleasant and scenic drive throughout. The trail is largely non-technical, making it an excellent connector to Buffalo Ranch for a wide range of vehicles. The one notable feature to be aware of is a rutted hill near FS 258, not particularly steep but requiring careful wheel placement to navigate the heavier ruts cleanly. An accessible, scenic connector trail well-suited for high-clearance vehicles looking to link Buffalo Ranch to the broader FS 205 trail network.
