Trail Overview

An abandoned historic toll road that has devolved into a severely tight, single-track ATV / Moto route. This trail is horribly tight, slow, and brutal, defined by heavy fire-related blowdown that has been bucked only to OHV width (visible in photos). The path is completely overgrown and highly confined by logs, making for a challenging, damage-prone experience for 4x4s. The trail passes through a dense forest recovering from an older fire.

Difficulty

WARNING - VEHICLE WIDTH RESTRICTION: This trail should be considered ATV, SxS, or Dirt Bike ONLY. Do not attempt with a mid-size or full-size SUV/Truck; a user's mid-size LC100 sustained serious body damage on multiple panels by climbing over log piles to force its way through this trail in August 2025. Rated 5 for 4x4s. The difficulty is not just the technical aspect of crawling along and over fallen logs, but extreme constriction caused by narrowly bucked logs and blowdown, which leaves a clearance barely wider than a UTV/SxS. Until this trail is properly bucked to FS standards, only short-wheelbase, narrow OHVs should attempt this trail. 2.5 miles in 2 hrs at a rate of 1.25mph is NOT a fun experience.

Trail was very overgrown. Had to cut back branches to get Jeep through. Did get some pin stripes on side panel. Had a 3’ axe. Recommend large branch cutter to help open trail. Got poison oak from trail clearing so be careful. Used this trail to get access to Pilot Peak trail so only did the bottom portion.
