16EV109

The southern end of this trail is marked with a trail sign at the entrance, but it immediately goes through a forested area that has been logged, so the hillside is mostly full of mulch and debris, which makes the trail difficult to follow. The hillside is extremely loose, silty, and hard to maintain traction on. The trail essentially cuts across the hillside until it meets up with a wide section of silty dirt road where the trail used to be. Then it goes through a section with loose rock on a dry grassy hillside with jagged embedded rock surfaces. Eventually, it goes into the forest again on a narrow singletrack that curves tightly through the vegetation with a couple of log crossings. It descends through the forest with tight curves, roots, and loose rock. Once you are out of the logged area, the trail is much easier to follow and is well defined. It sidehills along a hillside until the intersection with 16EV302, which is where it also bails out to the FS Road 3N35. This trail is seasonally closed 12/16 – 4/14 to motorized use.
