A nice drive along Forest Road 361 from Cherry Road, circling Hayfield Draw OHV Area. This trail twists and turns along a hillside where you'll get to see a lot of old mines. It is recommended that unlicensed vehicles take the trail in the opposite direction. You can connect to 361 on an ATV Trail from Hayfield Draw staging area.

Only saw 4 SxS and 1 Dirt Bike. Fun drive with lots of fun off camber climbs. Went counter clockwise. Stock Rubicon 4xe has 33 inch tires. Used lockers once but really didn't need them. Never scraped the bottom. I did this in a Stock JLU Sport last year and had no problems. Lots of Quail and one Rattler on the road.
