FS 2S41

Trail Overview

This trail drops almost 400 feet in under 2 miles, beginning from the north entrance with immediate challenges, including ruts from water runoff as the route climbs a small hill. A small downed tree blocks most of the trail early in the journey, though passage is possible around it with the acceptance of vehicle scratches from contact. The very sandy surface maintains a width of 1 to 1.5 vehicles throughout its length, lined with diverse brush, including manzanita bushes and small trees that create natural corridors. The route offers pleasant views of valleys and other hillsides in the distance, providing scenic rewards during the descent. The most significant ongoing challenge comes from overgrown tree branches on the sides and overhead that will contact vehicles throughout the journey, requiring acceptance of brush contact and potential scratching. At mile 0.7, the forest forms a natural canopy over the trail, creating an enclosed tunnel-like driving experience through dense vegetation. Around mile 1 from the north entrance, the trail reaches the junction with Forest Service Road 2S29Y, where ruts appear along with a small log that must be navigated over or around. At mile 1.4, a large downed tree presents a major obstacle, though an established bypass route allows continued passage around this obstruction. Several dispersed camping spots accommodate a couple of vehicles along the trail, providing overnight options for those exploring the area.
