Trail Overview

This is a reasonably rocky two-track connector trail that leads from Stemple Pass Road to Forest Service Road 485 just south of the intersection with Granite Butte Lookout. The idea was to find a bit more technical trail in the area than gravel Forest roads, and this one delivered. Fun, rocky two-track that meanders along the south fork of Poorman Creek, until the east side, where it climbs to meet with FS 485 and intersects just south of the access road to Granite Butte lookout. There are some good-sized rocks and several tight drop-offs to the creek below, but generally a good ride. Full-sized vehicles would be doable with a good driver, but it wouldn't be a recommendation.
