Trail Overview

Lower Russian Youth Loop FS 463. The trail may start out looking like it simply goes to a campsite, ride on around that campsite to find the fork marking the start of the loop. 2.4 mile loop, easy riding, mostly level and great for beginners or anyone who crashed and needs to regain their confidence. May have some mud puddles in the spring or after rain, mainly on the east half of the loop.
