Deer Road - FS 8020-117

This is a dirt-based forest road with gravel sections and patches. The trail is a steep, narrow, one-lane road with places to pass. The trail climbs nearly 3,000 feet in elevation with switchbacks and big drop-offs. You will climb the first half of this trail, then descend the second half. There are tremendous views along the way, and camping is allowed throughout the entire trail. Cell phone service was poor, so downloading the offline map could be helpful. You are over an hour from the nearest services and supplies, so travel prepared with all needed supplies. If you enjoy shelf roads, this is a good trail for you, and any vehicle type should be able to traverse this trail.
