Trail Overview
Browns Road - FS 2132 is a moderately maintained gravel road that travels from its intersection with FS 2131 to its intersection with Highway 8. Similar to most other forest roads in this area, this trail has a gravel base that is wide enough for two vehicles to pass in most locations on the trail. There are a few portions where vehicles will need to slow down due to changing trail width, in combination with blind corners. The difficulty of the trail is also similar to that of other trails in the area. It is a basic trail that is easy to maintain a moderate pace on. The scenery around the trail is also similar to that of others in this area, but this trail has a significant increase in pine and cedar trees located throughout the trail. This does marginally obstruct the oncoming view of the trail in various spots, as well as limit the view through the forest. The trail remains the same difficulty when navigated from either direction; however, this trail can serve as a great start point or end point to the day since it has direct access to Highway 8. Cell service in this area is acceptable in most instances, but can be slowed due to increased demand on local towers in the summer months. Utilizing downloaded maps is always a safe idea. Snowmobile traffic due to trails in the area is much more sparse in this area than in others in the winter months.
Difficulty
This trail can be completed by riders of all experience levels. The trail is wide enough for two vehicles in most locations; however, sight lines in and around some corners can be challenging due to the undergrowth in the surrounding forest. Like any gravel forest road, washboards can be expected from time to time, especially around corners or by hills. Additionally, after recent storms, there is the possibility for small branches or debris to make their way onto the trail.
