Trail Overview
This 4.5-mile point-to-point trail starts on Long Prairie Road and ends at Ragwort Trail, traveling through a mature pine forest within the Klamath National Forest. The surface consists of compact dirt with some of pine needles and pine cones. There is abundant sagebrush and other flora throughout the route. A few areas along the way show evidence of prescribed burns used to clean up ground vegetation, reflecting active forest management practices designed to reduce wildfire fuel loads. This controlled burning contributes to the overall health of the mature pine forest.
