Trail Overview
FR 349 is an out and back trail that begins at Hunter Campground and ends at the boundary to the Cloud Peak Wilderness. The first 4 miles are mostly one vehicle wide with few pull outs so you may find yourself having to back-up to yield right-of-way. This portion of the trail is rocky but fairly easy with a few shallow hard bottom puddles. At approximately mile 4 you enter a large clearing with dispersed camping available. The last .7 of a mile to the wilderness is an almost non-stop boulder field with large rocks and one slick, potentially deep mud hole. There is a bypass to the right of the mud hole. At the end of the trail there are two dispersed campsite at the wilderness boundary and a foot trail leads into the wilderness. The North Clear Creek is a short walk from the trail from approximately mile 4 and offers excellent fishing. This trail is used extensively by equestrians so be on the look out for horses.
Difficulty
First 4 miles is easy with some rocks, washes, and hard bottom puddles. The last ~.7 of a miles is a non-stop boulder field requiring high clearance with potential for damage.
