Trail Overview

This is the most difficult of several options to reach Flag Pole Knob. The route is generally only one vehicle wide, with dense foliage in the warmer months. There are also several rain-dependent muddy areas and creek crossings. Numerous 12-18" rock steps going up and down are found along this route. Meadow Knob is located just past the intersection with Dunkle Hollow Trail and has nice views with camping opportunities. The lower section is a basic gravel forestry road.

Started the trail around 4pm and ended around 6:30pm. The sun going down made it take longer due to getting off to scope out the right direction of the trail in the dark. It was a true moderate trail, lots of fun, bypasses for some obstacles. Choose lines wisely and you should be okay, having a spotter is a good idea. Trail was in good condition and I'll definitely make it back here another time. For reference, I've got a Tacoma trd sport sitting on 33 a/t wildpeaks with a 3 in. lift. No locking rear diff, not needed. Definitely air down tires, I went to 20psi and it was fine.
