Tusas Ridge

Tusas Ridge runs north from FSR-222 and dead-ends shy 10 miles to the west after a few substantial elevation changes. The primarily dirt two-track trail can be extremely muddy after wet weather, with smaller loose rocks up to 10 inches in size being the only other obstacle. Some minor rutting and mild off-camber sections complement the area, and a few areas that give expansive open views of the nearby valleys. The dense trees and open meadows provide the trail with a diverse opportunity for dispersed camping that is permitted along the entire length. Cell coverage between T-Mobile and AT&T is moderate to strong, and extremely weak with Verizon. Downed trees are common in this area, and a chainsaw is recommended due to the size of the pine.
