Trail Overview

The start of Olsen Creek Road is your basic gravel road, with somewhat deep potholes and parts of it washed out. There are no real obstacles or technical portions. There are tight switchbacks, so be mindful of oncoming traffic as well as the steep shoulders. There are privately owned parcels the route travels through, be thoughtful about where you're pulling over and be careful to not trespass.

Status Reports

Easy wide forest roads. Easily passable in a 2WD vehicle with a cautious driver. No problem in our 4WD truck, though we stayed in 2WD the whole time. Saw one other vehicle. Beautiful views.

Nice drive! A few sharp rocks along the way but shouldn't be an issue with good tires.

Use caution: sharp rocks popped our tire about 1/10th a mile in.
