Trail Overview
Joe Brown Highway is a 5.7-mile point-to-point route that follows a generously sized single-lane gravel road with places to pass. The road is well maintained and provides an easy drive through heavily forested terrain. Much of the route offers straightforward travel, with the broad road width and well-maintained gravel surface making it suitable for a wide range of highway-legal vehicles. An excellent mountain view is found where the road crosses a powerline right-of-way, providing one of the few open vistas along an otherwise wooded drive. The combination of good maintenance and gentle terrain makes this an enjoyable forest road for those seeking a scenic connection through the National Forest. Access is restricted to highway-legal vehicles only.
