Tri Tip - FS 26E360

Trail Overview

This 1.0-mile spur is a high-altitude technical climb to a scenic ridge. The trail is a continuously challenging two-track featuring steep grades and constant, loose rock gardens (visible in photos) that demand slow, precise wheel placement. Although the trees along the immediate corridor largely survived the 2020 Creek Wildfire (providing shade). This trail links to the adjacent 9S010W - Outlook trail to complete a useful connector loop in this portion of the Bald Mountain trail network.

Difficulty

This trail demands 4X4 due to the pervasive rocky tread and steep grades. High clearance is mandatory to pass the numerous fist-sized rocks and embedded boulders (visible in photos). 4 Wheel Drive-Low is required to manage torque and maintain stability during the 630-foot climb. This is a technical, low-speed challenge that requires experience with line selection, but stops short of requiring a locker.
