Trail Overview
Nestled within a beautifully lush, towering evergreen forest managed by the National Forest system, FS 2200090 offers a delightfully serene and straightforward woodland drive. The journey begins near the popular Big Spring Snow Park, serving as an excellent thoroughfare for outdoor enthusiasts looking to access the area's sprawling network of cutoff paths and trails frequently used during the snowy winter months. As you navigate this peaceful connector, you will enjoy a mostly flat terrain characterized by gentle, sweeping turns and outstanding forward visibility through the widely spaced pine trees. It is important to note that both the beginning and the end of this trail are entirely unmarked, meaning that prior route knowledge or a downloaded off-grid map is highly recommended to ensure you stay on the correct path. As you soak in the sights of the vibrant, thriving forest canopy and the thick green understory, be sure to keep an eye on your location so you know exactly when the route seamlessly transitions onto FS 090 - 4158 at its conclusion.
Difficulty
This route is a wide, nicely graded packed-gravel forest connector road that easily accommodates nearly every size of touring rig. The road surface is exceptionally smooth, solid, and well-maintained, featuring only a handful of very small, shallow rain ruts scattered throughout the drive. Because the terrain is wonderfully flat and the corners are wide and gentle, you can expect a very relaxed, bump-free ride from start to finish. Simply maintain a sensible cruising speed, keep an eye out for those minor water runoffs, and enjoy the effortless, scenic journey through the trees.
