FS 4040550

This alpine connector trail is primarily gravel and runs from an open, shrub-covered area on the east side into a wooded section before meeting an arterial road. The route has some ruts and narrows in places as lush green bushes encroach on the roadway. A fallen tree blocks part of the path, but a bypass lets full-size rigs get through. Larger vehicles should expect some pinstriping from the surrounding bushes. When approaching from the east, the route can also be accessed from 4245130 or 530. The 130 is small, narrow, and washed out, so the 530 is the better approach. Dispersed camping is permitted, although there were only one or two small clearings along the trail, and none appeared large enough to accommodate a full-size vehicle. ATVs, UTVs, Side-by-Sides, and Dirt Bikes must always have a valid Oregon ATV Operating Permit sticker.
