Deadhorse - FS 40005

This trail runs between China Meadows and Gilbert Creek, following the East Fork of Smiths Fork River once it drops down from China Meadows. This trail is mostly rocky with a couple of sandy sections; most of the rocky sections are not technical and will mostly just make the ride rough and slow going, but there are a couple of obstacles that may be challenging for vehicles with lower ground clearance. This trail is tight, and wider vehicles should expect pinstriping. Due to how tight the trail is in the trees, there are not many views along the trail, with there being a couple of pullouts towards Gilbert Creek that provide river access off of this trail. This trail is open year-round but may be impassable during the winter and early spring due to snow.
