FS 25N05

This long, scenic trail crosses a varied landscape of open plains, dry and dusty terrain, and areas heavily affected by the Dixie Fire. The road is maintained and has been repaired since the fire, although some sections remain rough and uneven. Expect plenty of loose volcanic rock, sandy stretches, and drainage ditches where water has cut across the road. You may also find fallen trees and other debris along the route. Conditions change as you travel, with some sections feeling relatively open and easygoing before becoming rockier and more challenging. Keep an eye out for unexpected holes, bumps, and uneven patches, especially where the surface might tempt you to pick up speed. Take it steady and watch your line through the rougher areas. Toward the end of the route, you’ll see signs of new growth emerging among the fire-damaged landscape. ATVs, UTVs, Side-by-Sides, and Dirt Bikes must always have a valid California ATV Operating Permit sticker.
