Range Study Loop - FS 10217

Trail Overview

Range Study Loop is a 2/10 rated single width out and back looped dirt trail in the Ashley National Forest. Surface consistency is generally smooth dirt, with a rocky cobble descent at its southern end. The trail can be very muddy after precipitation, which can occur unexpectedly at its altitude. This is generally open range grazing land, and you will be crossing several cattle guards and opening/closing gates. Please remember trail etiquette and leave gates as found or as signed. Topology-wise, you are following one ridgeline, descending at the south end of the loop, then climbing and following another ridgeline to the starting point. At the descent point between the ridges, you can sight down into Burnt Cabin Gorge.
