Trail Overview

This route provides amazing views of Mt. Jefferson and the open hillsides that were hit by a big burn years ago. The route starts out fairly tight, making it not recommended for full-size rigs or those concerned about their paint. The juniper bushes will be rubbing along your sides for the first couple miles of the trail. After leaving the tighter section of the trail, it opens up to more easy-going roads with some larger rock areas. This is a great route to get off the more heavily trafficked routes in the area.

Tri was great in normal conditions until you pass the 1200865 Road then the brush was so overgrown. A quad runner could get through it and we forced our forerunner and Jeep through it with lots and lots and lots of pinstriping so if you’re interested in helping maintain this trail, it would sure help but do expect to get some pinstriping past that for service road, it clears up after about three or 4 miles but you’re gonna have quite a few miles of your weed. If you don’t mind scratching your paint.

Not difficult at the beginning, but ended up turning back about halfway up due to it being pretty overgrown. I didn’t feel like getting scratched up the sides today
