Trail Overview

This is a short, lesser-traveled spur branching off Boles Canyon Road (FS 117) within the Black Hills National Forest. This gravel route meanders through dense pine forests and open meadows, offering a tranquil escape for those seeking solitude. While specific details about FS 117.1 are limited, the area is characteristic of the Black Hills' rugged terrain and natural beauty. The road is suitable for high-clearance vehicles, especially in dry conditions. As with all forest roads, it's essential to practice Leave No Trace principles: pack in, pack out, and tread lightly to preserve the natural beauty of the area.
