Gallings - FS 1791

Trail Overview

This forest route offers an easy and relaxing drive on a gravel surface that is generally well-maintained and simple to navigate. It is mostly one vehicle wide, though there are several spots where drivers can pull toward the trees to allow oncoming traffic to pass. Because the trail has a little extra width, the chance of pinstriping is low compared to tighter wooded routes. The road winds through a scenic canopy of tall trees with only minor puddles or rough patches along the way. At the end of the route, watch for posted private property signs, be respectful of the area, and use the turnaround point provided.
