FS 5N17/18EV306

This 1.5-mile cutoff trail starts at FS 5N40Y and ends at Herring Creek (FS 4N12), running through a dense pine forest. The trail climbs over 430 feet along a dirt surface that is mostly smooth, though it can be dusty in dry conditions. Winding through a mix of mature and regrowth pine, the trail provides scenic views of the surrounding mountains and valleys. Logging activity is evident with large piles of wood along the route. The trail width varies from one to one-and-a-half vehicles wide, making it accessible for standard off-road vehicles. Wildlife sightings may include deer and small forest mammals.
