Footman Ridge - FS 5S025

This is a scenic, 9.5-mile single-lane dirt road that rapidly gains elevation as it climbs through the forest impacted by the 2022 Oak Wildfire. The route offers dramatic, expansive views due to the lack of tree cover, but the terrain is now highly exposed. The surface is primarily dry, packed red dirt, allowing for fast travel. Numerous spurs, including Snider Loop, have been closed or abandoned since the fire.
