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.

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.
