Started at Strawberry Pinnacles. Made my way to highway 6 via Timber canyon. Very cool trail with lots of washed out bridges that are now water crossings. 5 I think. Had to get past a herd of cows and that added about an hour to the adventure. Then some sheep blocked the road. Towards 6, a steep downhill with many trucks pulling campers, added some close encounters. I air down when I off road but if you don’t have a compressor there is pay air just to the right on 6 at the summit station. Trail can be done with a 2WD on a dry day but need 4wd if wet.
