Forks - FS 23S62

Forks FS 23S62 branches off Parker Forks and climbs aggressively through Sequoia National Forest pine trees before transitioning onto a shelf road with a deep embankment dropping hundreds of feet to the valley floor below. Evidence of the 2021 Windy Fire is visible throughout. Note that the final third of a mile has been cut off by the Forest Service during post-fire trail rebuilding efforts, shortening the effective length of the route. There is a decent turnaround at the end. You can hike the remaining part of the trail, but there are trees down.
