Although this trail is marked as private on Google Maps, only portions of it appear to be on private land, and it seems to provide a shortcut back to the main gravel logging roads. The trail begins innocently enough with a grassy, gentle stretch near a clearing, but it quickly narrows as young trees close in, brushing against the vehicle and snagging at mirrors. As the trail descends, conditions worsen noticeably. Severe water damage has left the surface rutted and off-camber, with one section running precariously alongside a steep drop-off. With no space to turn around, we were forced to reverse nearly 500 feet uphill to retreat safely. The area includes a few possible dispersed camping spots, though it lacks any form of infrastructure, such as trash disposal or a water source, and cell service is limited throughout.
