Topping B Spur - FS 22E302

Trail Overview

This 0.6-mile spur is a fascinating "fresh cut" trail that serves as a testament to the hard work of forest crews. The route has been literally carved through a massive blowdown event, where hundreds of fallen trees have been bucked and cleared to develop this trail. The result is a tight, twisty tunnel winding through walls of cut timber and dense, healthy forest canopy. While the elevation profile is flat, the drive is engaging due to the narrow width and the need to weave carefully between the log ends. This short detour offers a unique, shady experience compared to the open burn scars nearby. There are excellent dispersed camping options nearby.

Difficulty

While there are no massive rock steps or steep climbs, this trail earns a Rating 3 rating due to the tightness of the track. Drivers must navigate a winding path through heavy timber fall, requiring excellent spatial awareness to avoid scraping the vehicle body on the protruding log ends. High clearance is recommended to negotiate the debris and uneven, freshly turned soil found between the cut logs. The slow 5 mph pace confirms this is a precision drive, not a high-speed run.
