Difficulty

These trails in the area are on old logging and mining areas where the roads have been left for forest service and are used for recreation by offroaders. The trails are somewhat maintained, but you will find small ledges less than 12", and mud and water holes that can be up to 12 inches deep as well.

History

The trails are currently used by the Forest Service and by workers going to the cell/radio towers. The trails here are left from previous mining and logging done in the area and are now used by offroaders.
