26E336 - Raccoon

Trail Overview

This is an extremely short, single-lane 0.4-mile trail that connects to Gooseneck to create a longer connection between the Barbecue (8S056) route and the Snow Drift (8S098) road. The trail traverses a scenic, high-elevation area, transitioning through patchy sections of the 2020 Creek Wildfire burn scar. The road is mostly smooth, packed dirt, but the entire environment is defined by the extreme falling snag hazard and the ever-present threat of deadfall. This spur is vital for trail continuity and offers several excellent, level spots suitable for quick dispersed camping or staging for the longer runs.

Difficulty

Rated 2 (Smooth Connector): This trail remains firmly in the easy category. High clearance and 4 Wheel Drive are not required for transit on this road, as the smooth, packed dirt surface is easily navigable by all passenger vehicles when dry. The R2 rating is assigned conservatively due to the high-altitude setting and the need to maneuver around debris, but this is a low-stress route.
