Pigpen Gap - FS 417

Pigpen Gap (FS 417) is a 1.6-mile out-and-back route following a single-lane forest road with few places to pass. The packed dirt surface is not maintained and passes through heavily forested terrain with a moderate difficulty rating. Rough conditions begin early along the route, where several challenging rutted areas become progressively more demanding. Deep ruts present a real rollover risk and should be approached with careful line selection and appropriate vehicle capability. Despite its relatively short length, the combination of rough spots and sustained rutting makes this one of the more technically demanding roads in the area. Access is restricted to highway-legal vehicles only.
