FS5N39Y

This 3-mile out-and-back trail begins at FS5N30 and climbs over 360 feet in just over 1.6 miles. The trail is a dirt road about one vehicle wide, winding through a dense pine forest lined with brush and other local flora. Overgrown vegetation along the sides may brush against taller or wider vehicles, creating Sonora Pass pinstripes. After rain, mud holes can appear, and the trail surface is rutted in several sections due to water runoff. The steady climb provides a scenic forested setting popular with deer hunters in the fall and includes a few small dispersed camping areas.
