FS 511-1A

This out-and-back route begins along FS 550 and gradually climbs approximately 500 to 600 feet into the surrounding mountains. The trail offers a smooth, scenic ride with relatively little rough terrain, allowing you to make good time as you work your way uphill. There are a few rocky, rutted sections that require some attention, but overall the route is straightforward and enjoyable. Along the way, you’ll encounter beautiful mountain views and several sections where fallen trees may require you to maneuver around them. The trail eventually ends in a small camping area with plenty of room to turn around before heading back the way you came. This is a great option for a relaxed scenic drive into the mountains without significant technical challenges.
