Trail Overview

This is a point-to-point single vehicle-width trail in the Jose Creek Basin area. The surface is primarily packed dirt with short stretches of gravel. There can also be shallow ruts and mud holes frequently along the route. This trail will pass through both a section of forest with fire damage and an area where cattle are grazing. The USFS maintains several gates along the route, which will be locked annually from 1/16 to 2/29. Weak/limited cellular phone service in the area and no restrooms or potable water sources along the trail. Tread Lightly and Pack-It-Out.

Difficulty

Trail surface is primarily dirt with some stretches of gravel. Ruts are running along the edges in places, but they are generally shallow and can be avoided. Unless the trail is saturated and muddy, vehicles with moderate clearance should be able to manage the full route with 2WD.

The road was easy, I made it in 2×4 it felt like a normal Fire Road / Fireline. Nice for the family to enjoy.
