Trail Overview

This is a scenic trail with views looking back towards Highway 108. The trail follows along the ridge and has smaller rock obstacles that shouldn't be much of an issue for most 4x4 vehicles. This is just one of many trails and roads in the area to explore so be sure to plan a nice day of adventuring in the area!

Difficulty

This trail is mostly covered in smaller rocks but there are some roots sticking up out of the ground as well as some lava flow rocks along the ridge. Most 4x4 or SXS vehicles should be able to make it up or down just fine.

Started out easy, but the new snow at higher elevation became extremely challenging. Also, at the end of the trail, there is a downed tree. It’s definitely possible to roll over with sufficient vehicle clearance, but I would suggest bringing a chainsaw or strong tow rope just in case. Also, don’t forget your leather work gloves, a good snow shovel, shears or branching cutters for the many thorn bushes on the trail, and traction boards (though rubber floor mats work quite well in a pinch).

First 1/3 is easy gravel, but the rest is pretty washed out with great deal of rocks of various sizes. Couple of spots with remains of downed trees are somewhat narrow, might be tight for full size vehicle.

Trail is pretty rough with lots of rocks, rutts, and washboard. Amazing views at the top. Lots of spots to pull off or turn around. Just very bumpy for a truck or SUV; you find yourself crawling the whole trail, which kills alot of time.

Downed Tree
With the exception of the downed tree near the end of the trail on the east side, this trail was very well groomed, fun, and easy difficulty. There was only one, maybe two spots where 4WD was necessary and even then probably not absolutely necessary. If you are traveling down the trail from Long Barn toward Pinecrest the downed tree can be detoured by using trail 4N99 just to the north of this trail.

Access Description

This trail is accessible from either the Long Barn 3N01 side near Fahey Cabin or from 4N26 Crabtree Road.
