Trail Overview

A nice little forest road not too far from the coast. This is a scenic, easy drive that provides access to the Outback Trailhead for hiking as well as a handful of spurs with some dispersed campsites. Portions of the trail are marked closed and unsafe for hiking or driving.

Status Reports

easy trails, lots of camping spots, some hiking trails too. Pretty views!

Previous report stated trail closed, but I interpreted the closure for one of the hiking trails, which has additional signs posted at the trail head as you pass. However, about three miles in, there's a downed tree obstructing the track. Maybe smaller 4x4s like Subarus, etc could sneak under, but I didn't chance it in my stock Tacoma.
