Trail Overview

Totem Pole - FS 69E is a 1.6-mile out-and-back route that follows a well-maintained gravel surface through heavily forested terrain. The trail remains a single lane with few places to pass and carries an easy difficulty rating. Conditions are generally straightforward, reflecting the maintained nature of the road while retaining the character of a forest route. The trail terminates at private property, and travelers should not trespass beyond the end of the road. Access is restricted to highway-legal vehicles only. Drivers should remain aware of property boundaries near the terminus and ensure they stay on public routes throughout their visit. The combination of a maintained gravel surface and easy rating makes this a simple forest drive through wooded National Forest terrain.

Easy, flat, well maintained FS road. No trouble at all - did it all in 2WD. One thing though - it seems that the OnX map of Totem Pole (or the USFS MVUM) is possibly out of date. I say that because there a few private property signs facing the road (like a road sign for speed limits, etc would). I kept going assuming/hoping that the FS road had an easement, but I reached a point that I wasn't trusting that. And a resident made some signficant arm gestures that made me feel unwelcome, so I turned around, yelled my apolgoies out of the window, and headed back where I came from.
