Trail Overview
This route cuts through a young pine forest with opportunities for several dispersed camping areas and many spur trails to explore. The trail provides access to a long section where trees have been burned or are being cut down, offering views of forest management activities. The route features varied forest conditions from young growth to areas undergoing restoration or clearing.
Difficulty
Most of the trail earns the easiest difficulty rating with its sand and gravel surface that is relatively flat and smooth. The trail is 1 to 1.5 vehicles wide throughout. There is a very short section in the middle where the Mammoth to June Loop and Mammoth Loop routes intersect, creating deeper ruts and requiring a rating of 2. Use caution entering this section as the ruts from other routes cause a small berm and drop off. Watch for low-hanging branches that will hit tall vehicles.
